There are jurisdictions where AI content can’t be copyrighted. I don’t see how an AI-written book could even exist in those places, since anyone could post it online for anyone to read.
That seems a strange carve out considering that no LLMs do anything without prompting, presumably by a human. Depending on the wording, the law may literally be unable to apply to any real scenarios.
But if that’s the case, perhaps a page out of the SovCit playbook would work: bombard them with lawsuits for copyrighting the work to prove it was written with human involvement.
Effectively China is the only major market where AI generated outputs are granted copyright. And even then, it’s a hard maybe. This makes zero sense to me as a business move.

This isn’t really true. The courts have held that there needs to be some human involvement, but that involvement can be pretty minimal.

You can find many copyrighted works online, people still buy them.
