Here's a question I have: if the AI generated image is of a character of which you own the IP, don't you have protections based on the character regardless of who gets copyright protections from authorship of the image?
Yeah if you have a copyright on the character, the AI generated image doesn’t change that. It doesn’t give you more of less protection than you already had.
IANAL but this sounds more like trademark territory.
You can also trademark a character if it’s used as a brand identifier in commerce.
There are far more characters protected by copyright than trademark.
