Yeah the current guidance from US copyright office is that if it were said to be solely authored by copilot it would not be eligible for copyright. If it were said to be solely authored by human A (who happened to use co-pilot) the elements and arrangement of it not generated by co-pilot would be copyrightable. I’m not sure the copyright office has released guidance on attempting to register AI as a co-author I assume the registration would be rejected but you’d be able to re-submit as sole Human author.
The Thaler case settled part of that: an LLM cannot be an author.
The guidance says its case by and case I can find no indication separation of elements is critical. Its more how closely you guide and correct the AI https://www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright-and-Artificial-Intell...
You can go by US guidance if you only distribute the work in the US. Otherwise you need to he aware this varies elsewhere.
