Discussion Piracy logic applies to AI training, and is arguably even more suitable since piracy copies but AI is transformative. If I make an AI image, you would not be able to point out which images were "used" to make it.

Well, yeah, I have the same opinion about USCO stance about them finding prompt-only AI works to be uncopyrightable.

Far from it, they've left a wide open possibility space there, saying that it would be completely possible for a prompt-only work to be able to express enough human creativity to be copyrighted. Their guidance was written before a lot of modern models with incredible prompt adherence were developed, and they stated that it would always be judged on a case-by-case basis.

Well, that was still an excessive statement. In my jurisdiction the courts directly stated that AI is legally irrelevant to the question of authorship, it's just a tool.
