Are you doing prompts or outputs? This statement relates only to outputs, but the Office will consider your inputs/prompts. They must evidence human creativity. Is the prompt in itself a work of individual human artistic creativity? If so, it would be copyrightable. The extent to which the output is copyrightable is inextricably connected to whether the input is copyrightable. I suggest that those using AI tools keep and copyright their prompts.I got from that:
No, your prompt cannot be protected, because it is in the nature of instruction to an artist and not the execution of the artwork.
That feels intuitively correct. They also talk about the output from generative AI bring further modified by a human artist, and works resulting from that being protected.
I thought it was an intelligent overview discussion of the issue. Thanks for linking it.

You'll recall Roy Lichtenstein, his instruction was to copy it exactly but paint it big ... BIG... BIG. Transformational? No.
Whaam instructions - creativity?
You can see the element of artistic creativity can be minimal and very subjective. I have visions of the staff in the Registry puffing on stogies sitting around and saying to one another, 'Wow man, that's big, so fucking Big. I mean, how do they do it? They're so creative. So authentic. Did you see the one of the soup cans? Society in a nutshell. My draw."
You can get a print of 'Whaam' for less than $3000, (or use the original and Photoshop to create your own copy for free.)
