I'm okay with the idea of no copyrights at all on works that are fully or partially AI derived. Of course, that introduces even more thorny arguments (what legally constitutes "AI"), but the courts can work that out. It's clear already that companies are going to be want to have their cake and eat it too. When they leverage AI to produce content, they don't want to be forced to pay licensing fees on the inputs to their models. But on the flip side, they absolutely don't want their content being used in models leveraged by other people. Not allowing copyrights on wholly or partially AI-generated work is probably the lesser evil path to take.
