If the output were deemed copyrightable, who should own that copyright?

Option 1 is "The human that crafted the prompt to generate it"

Option 2 is "The corporation that spent vast resources to create that AI model"

Option 3 is "The owners of the copyrighted material used to train the AI".

If a court ever must decide which to pick, it may well pick the answer requested
by the best funded legal team (which would be option 2).
