This seems like a good thing to me, because with "AI-generated works", there's the potential to generate a massive amount of images and essentially try to pre-copyright a lot of content, so you can then sue people who produce legitimate works that somewhat resemble what you've already copyrighted. Something similar could be done with programming code and transformers.

We already have a problem with copyright lasting long after the original author(s) are dead...
