The point AIUI is that it can be whatever we want to define it to be. There is no objective answer to AI vs copyright. Hell, we could invent copyright v2 which applies to AI on days divisible by 4 and v3 on all other days, but only if someone named Bob in Texas wears a beret.

Therefore, people talking about morals or ethics or creativity or human inspiration or whatever are wasting their time on a false premise.
