So where the opportunity for this IS available, is that its already been determined that AI generated works cannot hold any copyright, because an AI cannot actually create, therefore anything generated by AI is inherently Public Domain.
Which seems eminently sensible.
But where the hilarity is yet to ensure is that the public domain has been so stifled by corporations wanting to exact rent seeking behaviours, while its corporations pushing for AI generated works as a cheaper alternative to paying humans who have probably not realised they are not going to own the copyright on the work they generate, because that generated work is inherently public domain.
So give it a couple of years and you'll be good to use the latest hollywood crowd scenes and disaster footage and shit as stock footage.
wholly generated works with an indistinguishable human component are denied copyright (currently) but they upheld that human-created aspects of a work are copyrightable, so for example a comic made of AI generated images can still have its layout and dialogue protected (see zarya)
so if disney generates and does not edit the script to the next marvel movie, apparently you could do whatever you want with the actual text of the script, but freely distributing the movie itself (with its real human acting performances and other physical elements of filmmaking) would not be allowed
