If AI generated content is not copyrightable then can it be a copyright violation?

Like if you took all of Taylor Swift’s songs, voice, lyrics and fed them in to a ML algorithm to produce new songs that were Taylor Swift like. She couldn’t do that and release those as hers under copyright. So could she enforce her copyright on others? 

If you claimed the resulting work was satire, would it be then allowed under fair use?

What if you never used her voice and content directly but instead trained the ML using music from coverbands?

Copyright is a scam by the Fed. Depends on how they want to deal with it. They’ll probably try to enforce the idea you’ve suggested.

In reality, all released creations are actually within the public domain.

Another example where technology is outpacing law

You're in a McDonalds drive through

It's illegal to use your phone while in charge of a vehicle

You have to access the Mcd app to redeem the code to add your points

Agree. Intellectual Property / Ideas want to be free. AI is going to accelerate this.

its only a matter of time before copyright law becomes completely pointless

Again

I am watching this with a keen eye - within the next 12 months there will likely be an attempted copyright lawsuit from a major music/film publishing company over AI generated content. There will be pressure to use that as a precedent before real legislation gets made about it

How can you have copyright in anarchy?
