Why This Award-Winning Piece of AI Art Can’t Be Copyrighted::Matthew Allen’s AI art won first prize at the Colorado State Fair. But the US government has ruled it can’t be copyrighted because it’s too much “machine” and not enough “human.”

Or really anything that's more practical than art.

Or someone figured out how to reliably tune AI to just happen to generate existing art and tries to use it to bipass/invalidate the copyright on that piece of art.

You can already do that with over fitting or getting lucky with duplicates in the dataset(<6*10^-5% chance for stable diffusion). The resulting work is still protected under the original creator's copyright because it's almost identical. Same way that if you photocopy an image it doesn't remove the copyright even though slight details will be off due to inaccuracies.
