Just prompts are not considered to be "direction". The example in the US Copyright Office report was of a client providing "direction" to an architect, which did not provide the client with any claim of ownership over the actual architectural drawings. On the other hand, the architect using CAD tools to create those drawings did include the necessary human creativity/direction even if the tools did things like apply building code rules etc. Source code being subject to copyright and also considered to be "speech" has provided much more protection to the public from government overreach, eg restrictions on cryptography source code.
