So wait, if my start up does a human written "Hello World" and the rest is piled on AI slop it can't be stripped of copyright? Or is "Hello World" too generic to hold a copyright at all?

Granted, as you said this all has to be defined and tested in court, I'm just trying to understand where the line as you see it is.

A human must be involved in the creation. A human can combine non-human created things to make something new, but the human must be involved, and the non-human created elements likely lack protection themselves.
