Can I copyright code that was mostly written by AI (Copilot/Claude)?

I publish illustrative scenarios prepared by my practice. The participants and conversations are fictional. These are not posts by real users, accounts of client experiences or reports of actual results.

Building a SaaS and probably 60% of my code was generated by Claude/Copilot. I heavily edited and integrated it, but the initial generation was AI. Can I claim copyright on the final product? What if someone copies my code?

Idk but statute of limitations warning: I almost missed the deadline to file my claim. In most states (at least in my experience), the clock starts ticking from when the violation occurred OR when you discovered it (the discovery rule). Don't assume you have unlimited time — check your state's SOL for your specific type of claim.
