The ai generated portion does not have copy right protection. This also applies within an image. So for instance in an ai generated building image with a human created character in front. People couldn't copy the character but could use the background.

How will the copyright office know what's ai generated and what's not

[–] Shazbot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They'll have to find the tools that will help them detect AI works. However, the current standard they've set is that once they learn its AI generated the work is no longer protected under copyright law.

AI generated portions of things would have copyright per the article. Only wholly-AI-created content is non-copyrightable per this ruling.
