An artists work is copyrightable, a writers work is copyrightable, an a personal model could reproduce those and also produce new works in the same style. Also, data can be intellectual property without being copyrightable.

Yes. So it's like creating a machine that can create art.
Perhaps it shouldn't be copyrightable, but patentable. I think I would be OK with ML models (weights) being patentable rather than copyrightable.
