Er no. That's NOT what the copyright office said.

AI generations must be excluded from registration and only human authorship will be accepted.

Given that in the US, registration is required to bring a suit to protect copyright, it won't be possible to bring any action to the courts to protect AI generations as they can't be registered.

Therefore, AI generated art can't ever be protected.

Headline is redacted, the article says it can be considered if the author puts a considerable amount of (human) effort in it and it's not just a prompt.

Makes sense to be honest.

This is not a simple case though. If I take a picture of someone's face in public and then apply a filter to it, that doesn't immediately give me copyright ownership over someone else's image who does not consent to it being used. Simply altering it does not make it mine.

If this were the case, I could simply add a second of silence to the end of any audio recording and then sell it as my own work.

You're confounding copyright (which is supposed to protect the 'artist' in this case) with the right to one's own image (which protects everyone from being depicted against their will, including artists). Those two are separate, different things.

They're both examples of how simply changing an image doesn't create a new right. The two examples are in separate paragraphs. That's not confounding them, that's two separate examples.

They're going about it in the wrong and destructive way. You don't need to outlaw AI copyright in order to protect human-interests. AI intellectual rights have long-term ramifications that prevent conflict while human-jobs have short-term ramifications. They're not meant to exist at the expense of the other. Both human-jobs and AI intellectual rights can both co-exist together.
