I am not a lawyer, but AFAIK anything you did that rises to the required level of minimal creativity is copyrightable. If you take AI code and the do something creative with it, the parts that you did are copyrightable. Someone else can still take the same AI output and do something different with it. There are a few exceptions, such as the merger doctrine, but this is generally how it works if I understood it correctly.

What’s with the burden of proof? How do you prove that something was AI generated in the first place?

I’m not sure there is a good solution here . Potentially that could undermine the law? What happens in industries where the law is impossible to enforce ?

I am not aware of good solutions, only hilariously bad ones: https://www.firstpost.com/world/professor-fails-entire-class...

This all is based on the honor system and there is little honor now when millions of dollars are on the line.
