Are there rules around claiming copyright if I write a novel or
a research paper using generative AI? If I ask a large language

on some topic and include it in my writing, can I claim it as all
my own work?

generative AI.
How is output from generative AI treated under copyright
laws?
Under current Australian intellectual property law, a literary
work must originate through an author's independent
intellectual effort.
