I think this would be a case where copyright can only be held over some parts of whatever is being made.
Like Zarya of the Dawn. The text and panel layouts were done by a human author, but all the visuals were done by AI. The author got it copyrighted, bragged about the AI part, and had that copyright revoked. The author owns the dialog and layout and everything else that’s not a picture, but nobody owns the visuals.

Doesn’t trademark just protect the name “Microsoft Windows®” and slogans (“Just Bing it®”)?
And yeah, i don’t think anyone who knows enough about computers to make an operating system wants to just fork Windows. I’m more curious about how much MS could be hurting themselves by having a robot write important code.
