The use of AI tools to assist rather than stand in for human creativity does not affect
the availability of copyright protection for the output.
Copyright protects the original expression in a work created by a human author,
even if the work also includes AI-generated material.
I’m not sure where you get that from, I’m pretty sure vibe coding still complies with these indications
“AI-generated” works can be copyrighted. However, on the condition that the AI-generated elements are explicitly mentioned in the “Excluded Material” field. In other words, the parts generated by AI are not protected, only the parts that are expressed by human creativity. Courts in the U.S have already rejected registration for many AI works because of that. Regardless, it’s still a contentious matter.
P.S. I am completely opposed to (generative) AI as well as the copyright system. I’m just stating my findings researching the law and court cases.
Did you even read your own report? It says that AI works are copyrightable in certain circumstances, not that they make a whole project public:
Copyright law has long adapted to new technology and can enable case-by-
case determinations as to whether AI-generated outputs reflect sufficient human contribution to
warrant copyright protection. As described above, in many circumstances these outputs will be copyrightable in whole or in part—where AI is used as a tool, and where a human has been able
to determine the expressive elements they contain. Prompts alone, however, at this stage are unlikely to satisfy those requirements.

The US copyright office confirms this. https://www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright-and-Artificial-Intelligence-Part-2-Copyrightability-Report.pdf

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread it won’t matter either way unless tested in court and that will never happen for most companies.
