Copyright laws are written vaguely so they can be applied to all human expression even those that haven't been invented yet.

Obviously there are boarder cases where things are not clear cut. That's true for anything. But when courts make those decisions, they are going to do so using legal frameworks that already exist. The courts are not going to invent new standards to determine whether AI usage is copyrightable or not.

I never suggested they were going to make up new standards based on nothing. All my arguments are related things to existing situations.
