    This is a very delicate and complicated matter, part of me thinks that making AI works non copyrightable would incentivize human art

      I agree completely. I think this is the best solution to the AI replacing human artists problem. Big companies can’t use AI to replace humans because if they do, whatever they make will be ineligible for copyright and everyone will be free to rip them off.
