So if I use a hammer to create art I can't protect it because I used a hammer? Exchange hammer for AI
From my reading it was more like if you created art with a hammer the copyright doesn't automatically go to the hammer which would then transfer to you via the "work for hire" clause. So if you then say lent out that hammer to a bunch of other artists to make art with you would theoretically have a copyright claim to everything they made using your hammer.
