The Rules

If the prompt is as long and unique as other copyrightable writing (which includes short works like poems) then why shouldn't it be copyrightable?

Okay, so the prompt can be that. But we're talking about the output, no? My hello-world source code is copyrighted, but the output "hello world" on your machine isn't really, no?

Does it require any creative thought for the user to get it to write "hello world"? No. Literally everyone launching the app gets that output, so obviously they didn't create it.

A better example would be a text editor. I can write a poem in Notepad, but nobody would claim that "Notepad wrote the poem".

It's wild to me how much people anthropomorphize AI while simultaneously trying to delegitimize it.
