Watched the MKBHD video on this and couldn’t help but think about copyrights when he spoke of the impact on stock footage companies.

As I understand the current US situation, a straight prompt-to-generate-video cannot be copyrighted. https://www.copyright.gov/ai/ai_policy_guidance.pdf

But the copyright office is apparently considering the situation more thoroughly now.

Is that where it stands?

If it can’t be copyrighted, it seems that would tamper many uses.
