Easiest should be all digital art is not copyrightable as it was created with software that did most of the work and the "artist" could not have produced it without that software. But that would invalidate almost all Hollywood movies from the last 30 years lol.

I mean, you could make the same argument for paint brushes for traditional art. Or pencils. There's a really big difference between someone using a tablet and an Undo hotkey to draw something digitally vs. someone making something with AI. One of those clearly requires a ton of skill; one does not require any.

>all digital art is not copyrightable as it was created with software that did most of the work This is a really weird idea of what making digital art actually involves. Drawing on a screen with a stylus isn’t somehow not art made by a person because it’s digital instead of on paper. Even if you use a mouse to make pixel art or modify 3D models, that’s still human artistic decision making involved. Non-AI digital artwork doesn’t involve just pressing a button and getting art.
