My understanding (IANAL) of https://www.copyright.gov/ai/ is that if a
human provides instructions, edited the result, or had any other
creative input into the process then the output is protected by
copyrights.

But really I'd rather just leave it to our friendly lawyers at the LF
to figure the legal aspects out.
