so if he trained the model himself, would that make the work copyrightable?

I think if he “trained” the model on art he himself created you might have an argument.

Not in the US, there art can only be created by a human.
If it’s created by an algorithm or animal supernatural being it’s public domain.

Interesting facts:

  • when photography was invented there was a debate whether photos can be copyrighted
  • if you claim to have written down something revealed to you by a supernatural entity, it’s public domain
  • the following image is public domain because it was taken by a monkey
