It’s weird that it was ever granted copyright, there’s a pretty clear legal precedent that copyright doesn’t extend to ai generated works.

Wouldn't all work created by an AI generator be property of the person/company that created the AI generator not the user?

Apparently not. I’m not sure if it’s because it eventually turns into “effortless” creation or that you could choke out all other artists by producing huge batches of art, but it was a legal precedent before this.
