ABSTRACT
When a ‘chatbot’ produces text, who is the author? This question has vexed scholarly publication since the commercial release of ChatGPT. Copyright scholars, however, have been conducting a robust discussion of authorship issues raised by artificial intelligence for decades. With regard to the 2023-2024 wave of new generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, etc there is an obviously correct answer. Generative AI outputs are authored by the prompter. So why does no one believe us?
