AI VTuber Neurosama(the anime girl in the clip) is an LLM-Driven persona made to stream on twitch, built by programmer/streamer Vedal987(the turtle on the anime girl’s head).

During Vedal 2025 subathon, as the clip shows, one of the subgoals is “Real book by Neuro”.

I was interested in how the copyright will apply to this specific book when copyright by default wouldn't protect an AI-generated content.

One thing that may affect the outcome is of course, the human elements in the said book.

First of all, Neurosama isn't just off the shelf LLM. Vedal has fine-tuned the LLM through 3 years of his streaming career.

Just as important, Vedal has said he's talking to a real author to learn more about writing a book*. This indicates the man behind the AI will give significant input into the book before it comes out to public.

even US Copyright Office (USCO)** recognize that if a human may select or "arrange AI-generated material in a sufficiently creative way", the result could be considered an original work.

So… all in all, what do you think? Is it possible “real book by Neuro” could be copyrighted?

In first place, do content creator who make book as silly project need copyright protection?
