Let's ask #ChatGPT
The answer to whether AI-generated copy is copyrightable is not straightforward and depends on several factors.
The U.S. Copyright Office has stated that it is open to granting copyrights to AI-generated work on a "case-by-case" basis, depending on whether the AI contributions are the result of "mechanical reproduction" or an author's "own original mental conception, to which [the author] gave visible form"[1].
Essentially, copyrighted work will depend on how the person uses AI to generate content. If a user "may select or arrange AI-generated material in a sufficiently creative way" that it becomes an original work based on the user's creativity, such a work could be copyrighted[1].
However, a recent ruling by a U.S. District Court Judge stated that AI-generated content cannot be copyrighted, as human authorship is a bedrock requirement of copyright[2].
The judge found that copyright has never stretched so far as to protect works generated by new forms of technology operating absent any guiding human hand[2].
Therefore, the answer to whether AI-generated copy is copyrightable is not definitive and depends on the level of human involvement in the creation of the work.
