Authors Alliance readers will surely have noticed that we have been writing a lot about generative AI and copyright lately. Since the Copyright Office issued its decision letter on copyright registration in a graphic novel that included AI-generated images a few months back, many in the copyright community and beyond have struggled with the open questions around generative AI and copyright.
How can any content generated by AI be considered the property of the person using it in his/her work and therefore able to be copyrighted under that person's name?

My work will ALWAYS be AI free.
