    so if he trained the model himself, would that make the work copyrightable?

    I think if he “trained” the model on art he himself created you might have an argument.

      Not in the US, there art can only be created by a human.
      If it’s created by an algorithm or animal supernatural being it’s public domain.

      Interesting facts:

      • when photography was invented there was a debate whether photos can be copyrighted
      • if you claim to have written down something revealed to you by a supernatural entity, it’s public domain
      • the following image is public domain because it was taken by a monkey
