Yeah, so the actual law is that if you didn't do any work and just gave ChatGPT or Midjourney a prompt and it shat out a picture and then brag to the copyright office in your application that you didn't do diddly squat, the work effectively had no human authors. If, instead, you build a new machine learning model, tune it for your specific problem, analyze the results, and furthermore, break new ground understanding how it solved your problem, and then you write the paper, in fact, you have tons of ownership over the work.

The fact people can't tell the difference between the two and are actually upvoting you kind of says a lot about how little most people understand this stuff.
