I'm wondering though how the law will construe AI able to make a believable sequel to Moby Dick after digesting Herman Melville's works. (Or replace Melville with a modern writer.)

existing copyright law seems to say you cannot help yourself to significant parts of a work - such as to write your own sequel. I have no idea how the courts establish the degree of copying "owned" by the original author. There would clearly be stories in some way related to Moby Dick that would be legal, but others that were too close.
