In the US, copyright is assigned to whoever takes a photograph. Pushing a button on your phone isn’t much work at all and yet the courts think that’s enough effort to allow someone to claim copyright over the work. So I don’t think the claim that the prompting, inpainting etc. required to generate an AI imagine isn’t “enough” work for someone to claim copyright doesn’t really hold water.

It's discrepancies like this that illustrate that copyright is unnatural and needs major reform.
