This is going to get dicey.

If I ask ChatGPT for a chord progression, and it says "Use the ii V I resolution in C"

And I now play ||: Dm Dm G7 C :||

Then I sing some heartfelt lyrics and add a drum beat and a bass line...

Did an AI write the song?

Well what if I asked it for the lyrics?

Lyrics but not the chords?

What if an AI is doing my mastering in my DAW?

@foggy There's another article that clarifies the decision. Works created by a human with AI assistance are copyrightable. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/ai-works-not-copyrightable-studios-1235570316/

Works created solely by AI, like if all the human did was enter a prompt into ChatGPT or Midjourney, are not copyrightable.
