In the United States there was a judgement made the other day saying that works created soley by AI are not copyright-able. So that that would put a speed bumb there.
I may have misunderstood what you though.

Yeah, they might not copyright it, but after it becomes the 'one true AI', it will be at the hands of Microsoft, so please do not act friendly towards them.

It will turn on you just like every private company has.

(don't mean specifically you, but everyone generally)

Huh. Doesn't this means technically AI cannot do copyright infringement.

Nah, it would mean that you cannot copyright a work created by an AI, such as a piece of art.

E.g. if you tell it to draw you a donkey carting avocados, the picture can be used by anyone from what I understand.

That's what I said. Copyright infringement is when there is another copyrightable object that is copy of first object. AI is not witin copyright area. You can't copyright it, but also you can't be sued for copyright infringement too.

Yes. Same for Public Domain, but PD is another status. PD applies only to copyrightable work.
