  1. Human contribution to protectable expression may support copyrightability. ✓
    US copyrightability can depend on qualifying human selection, arrangement, or modification of expressive material.
  2. The administrator owns every machine-generated sentence automatically.
    Machine generation alone does not automatically establish human authorship in the resulting expressive material.
  3. Using AI makes the entire notice ineligible for protection.
    AI assistance does not categorically bar protection where qualifying human-authored expression contributes to the work.
  4. Any prompt supplied by staff creates authorship of the output.
    A prompt alone does not necessarily make the user the author of machine-determined expressive output.
The trap
Ask what humans contributed to protectable expression, not merely whether they entered prompts or used an AI tool.
