Anything created solely by AI tools cannot have a copyright. At least, that's 
my understanding of the current discussion among copyright lawyers. I have no 
idea what the implication for the license is. Can something which is not 
copyrightable even have a license or is it automatically in the public domain, 
i.e. ~CC0? I mean the AI cannot decide under which license it publishes what 
it produced.

On the other hand, if the submitter did substantial (copyrightable) additional 
work then I guess they can claim copyright a stick a license on the joined 
work of the AI and them?

Ingo
