This seems like a bad thing to me, because with "AI-generated works", there's the potential to generate a massive amount of images and essentially try to pre-copyleft a lot of content, so you could sleep easy knowing that it was no longer possible to sue people who produce legitimate works that somewhat resemble what you've already copyrighted. Something similar could be done with programming code and transformers.
