Courts consider my work with a circle saw my work.
Did you have a court trial? I guess I should read the transcript from the case before commenting.
If a person gave a prompt to an AI to create a pattern and used the pattern to create a physical thing; then the person would own the thing, but not the pattern.
The pattern was not created by the mind of the user. They just own the short prompt and the item.
If a person created a model and used AI to enhance the model; the person would have copyright to the model but not to the enhancement.
An AI assisted project might still be copyrightable.
Regardless, simply writing a prompt and getting an image produced by a machine is not creating a copyright worthy piece of art.

AI is in the wild already, and people have uncensored AI that is capable of making images that are considered illegal in various jurisdictions. The time will come when the people that own the AI making such images will be prosecuted for doing so. When they can be held legally liable for creating images using AI, it will be unreasonable not to grant them copyright for images that are made that way.
The laws we have were not designed to cope with AI, but will have to adapt as necessary to the needs of the state, while we are still subject to jurisdictions. We have entered the Space age, and in due time it will not be necessary to be subject to jurisdictions, and then such questions will be moot.
