 If AI generated content is not copyrightable then can it be a copyright violation?

Like if you took all of Taylor Swift’s songs, voice, lyrics and fed them in to a ML algorithm to produce new songs that were Taylor Swift like. She couldn’t do that and release those as hers under copyright. So could she enforce her copyright on others? 

If you claimed the resulting work was satire, would it be then allowed under fair use?

What if you never used her voice and content directly but instead trained the ML using music from coverbands? 
 Copyright is a scam by the Fed. Depends on how they want to deal with it. They’ll probably try to enforce the idea you’ve suggested.

In reality, all released creations are actually within the public domain. 
 Another example where technology is outpacing law

You're in a McDonalds drive through 

It's illegal to use your phone while in charge of a vehicle 

You have to access the Mcd app to redeem the code to add your points

 Agree.  Intellectual Property / Ideas want to be free.   AI is going to accelerate this. 
 its only a matter of time before copyright law becomes completely pointless 
 Again 
 I am watching this with a keen eye - within the next 12 months there will likely be an attempted copyright lawsuit from a major music/film publishing company over AI generated content. There will be pressure to use that as a precedent before real legislation gets made about it 
 How can you have copyright in anarchy? 
 1. Creo que no

2. En ese caso, pienso que sí porque ella es el original usando una herramienta para elevar su productividad.

Sin embargo, aquí me preguntaría si no debería declarar la forma en la a cual la produjo y si la valorización de ese producto debería ser el mismo al de una producción sin el uso de la herramienta al tener un menor costo para ella y, probablemente, una calidad creativa en declive.

3. Tal vez sí, siempre y cuando se declare como tal y se valorice como tal.

4. ¿Cómo se valorizan los derechos de autor en el caso de un cover? 
 Let's ask #ChatGPT

The answer to whether AI-generated copy is copyrightable is not straightforward and depends on several factors. 

The U.S. Copyright Office has stated that it is open to granting copyrights to AI-generated work on a "case-by-case" basis, depending on whether the AI contributions are the result of "mechanical reproduction" or an author's "own original mental conception, to which [the author] gave visible form"[1]. 

Essentially, copyrighted work will depend on how the person uses AI to generate content. If a user "may select or arrange AI-generated material in a sufficiently creative way" that it becomes an original work based on the user's creativity, such a work could be copyrighted[1]. 

However, a recent ruling by a U.S. District Court Judge stated that AI-generated content cannot be copyrighted, as human authorship is a bedrock requirement of copyright[2]. 

The judge found that copyright has never stretched so far as to protect works generated by new forms of technology operating absent any guiding human hand[2]. 

Therefore, the answer to whether AI-generated copy is copyrightable is not definitive and depends on the level of human involvement in the creation of the work.
