> - If it is copyrightable, what if someone uses an Img2Img tool or inpainting with something like Stable Diffusion (or Photoshop) in order to slightly modify an image. Is that no longer copyrightable?

The number 5 is not copyrightable, but if I take your short story and replace every space with the number 5 it's still subject to the original copyright.
