Interesting link, thanks. What about the contradiction between the next two sentences? “a human may select or arrange AI-generated material in a sufficiently creative way that ‘the resulting work as a whole constitutes an original work of authorship.’” "copyright would extend to the material the human author contributed but would not extend to the underlying AI-generated content itself." The linked document is mentioning the act of selecting AI generated images for a comic book as an example, where the result is adding material that is copyrightable on its own merit. I am not sure if the same line of reasoning would apply to programming. "in one early case, for instance, the Office found that the selection and arrangement of AI-generated images with human-authored text in a comic book were protectable as a compilation." I think that AI is adding an extra layer of politics to just about everything. It is as if we are entering a phase of super-extra politics, as everyone is trying to figure out what should come next. Instead of a war with machines we get an eternal war among lawyers and managers. Don't know which prospect is worse.
