Reply to comment by Deadboy00 in US Copyright Office: You Can't Copyright Images Generated Using AI by vadhavaniyafaijan

Actually independent creation is a defense against a copyright claim. That means if you can prove that you use an AI to generate the art with your own prompt you would win against someone suing you for infringement because that's an independent creation. It is patent law where independent creation is not a defense.

True...but that's not the central issue.

A copyright requires human authorship. Even if you could copyright a prompt (you can't), the generated output would not be.

Sure, they're the ongoing lawsuits against ai firms that use copyrighted works to generate their own product. Regardless of the side you wish to come out on top, there is a lot of merit to the suit.
