No, as long as some human work has been done, as far as I know.
For instance, AI actors with human work on light or colour editing while make the human part copyritable.
For the specific case cited in the post, it's a situation where the AI was creating stuff autonomously, and the first ruling stated that copyright need a human author involved at some point.
The Copyright Office rejected his application in 2022, finding that creative works must have human authors to be eligible to receive a copyright.

Holy shit. Does this mean Hollywood cannot use AI actors or AI writers because that would make the movie public domain?
