The problem now becomes how much AI work is influence and what about modifications
* Courts have recognized that using AI as reference and then doing all the work by yourself is copyrightable
* AI can not be considered "Joint work"
* No amount of prompt engineering counts.
* Notable: in case of a hand-drawn picture modified by AI, copyright was assigned exclusively to the originally human hand-drawn parts.
Notable international section:
* Korea allows copyright only on human modifications.
* Japan in case-by-case
* China allows copyright
* EU has no court case yet, only comments. Most of the world is in various levels of "don't really know"
After 40 pages of "People have different opinions, can't really tell", the conclusion section says "existing legal doctrines are adequate", but explicitly excludes using only prompt engineering as copyrightable
