    Simply this: AI should be exempt from copyrights

    I think it's only fair that we all pay the same price. In exchange for the ability to have a computer crank out things that LOOK like art, etc and wanting to use it as ones "expression", it doesn't make it so. "Oh, here's a print of the Mona Lisa - its says so much that I want to say about art. So it's my expression, therefore I own the copyright now!" Of course not, nor should it be for AI. THAT SAID, I do believe Prompts could be subject to IP protection under "trade secrets" like the formula for Coca-Cola. That's pretty much it.
