Any one confused on the issue, here’s the written ruling.

https://copyright.gov/docs/zarya-of-the-dawn.pdf

> A person who provides text prompts to Midjourney does not “actually form” the generated images and is not the “master mind” behind them.

> Nor does the Office agree that Ms. Kashtanova’s use of textual prompts permits copyright protection of resulting images because the images are the visual representation of “creative, human-authored prompts.” Because Midjourney starts with randomly generated noise that evolves into a final image, there is no guarantee that a particular prompt will generate any particular visual output.
