    I am not sure if a work derived from output still would be. Otherwise a lot of games will have to get surprise public domained.

      IANAL, but from my understanding, anything output from an AI is public domain, although specifically and only the parts that were AI generated.

      For example, there was a comic released a little while ago using AI images. The text, and layout could be copyrighted but not the images. From my understanding, this means in games, you can rip imdividual textures and resources, and reuse them, but not the full game. I think that would also make basically the entire coke commercial public domain (so long as the trademark is obscured), since the whole thing is AI generated.

        The Coke ad is still edited by a human though. So you probably can’t use the same shot for shot sequence. Like if you created a movie by editing clips together from public domain movies you created a derivative work and that work is copyrightable. Even if you don’t own the copyright on the individual clips you own the copyright on the new creative expression. So people can’t just copy your exact edit. Like the idea is not copyrightable but the execution of that idea is.
