Head of Technology & Open Source at Nearform. Way back with Formidable and somehow IP law.
An additional wrinkle is if an LLM helps author the prompt (or code or whatever). For current US case law / (C) office, AI-authored content is not (C)-able. I gave a talk JSConf on some of these areas where the law is headed for AI seems at extreme odds with what all the engineers are doing...

I think there's a strong argument that prompts at first blush are (C)-able.

Oversimplifying things, if you can save it to disk it can potentially be (C)'ed. Next level is whether it's creative or factual (e.g. famously API defs in Google v Oracle). Then there are other factors and defenses.
