I would agree with this yes,  so if services such as ChatGPT change GPL 
code it remains under the GPL and should be released accordingly.

It may be the FSF need to check with the legal department on this, and 
amend the GPL licenses to suit if this needs to be explicitly stated.

I would also guess that creative commons should also be treated int he 
same way, so a picture under say  cc-by-sa (or similar) if modified by 
AI then this has to be released under the same license.
