He explains that, according to the U.S. Copyright Office, AI‑generated works receive no copyright protection unless there is meaningful human authorship. Consequently, content copied directly from tools like ChatGPT may be considered public domain, leaving creators without legal ownership or protection. Richter stresses the urgency of this issue for 2025, where content functions as currency, and urges viewers to watch the full video for details and to follow for more protective advice.
