>Should that be infringing?

That’s the big question I was alluding to. Does the prompt provide sufficient novelty to avoid claims of copyright? Or is it too derivative? I don’t have a strong opinion but can see both sides and suspect eventually it will be decided by the courts.

The distinction you may be missing is that copyright refers to licensed reproduction. IP is, after all, about property/ownership rights.

Not everyone agrees with that view, of course.

Of course. IP is a shorthand for these types of forums/discussion, although it is also used in court.
