Seems like a win for artists who oppose generative AI. Now those who use AI to claim a copyright are "put on notice" to clearly disclaim the AI generated portions of their content.

It will be interesting to see if Prompts themselves could be copyrighted, since presumably humans came up with the prompts.

Recipes are usually not copyrightable as they are just a list of ingredients and instructions with no room for expression. I wonder if the same argument could be applied to prompts.

They state this in the document as well:

> While some prompts may be sufficiently creative to be protected by copyright, that does not mean that material generated from a copyrightable prompt is itself copyrightable.

It sounds like it would depend on the complexity of your prompt.

Companies will just outsource to small studios/individual artists that don't admit they use AI.
