The US Copyright Office has said so on multiple occasions. This statement in the CFR seems fairly definitive: https://www.copyright.gov/ai/ai_policy_guidance.pdf > I would observe >that this problem already exists pre-AI because we might be incorporating >public domain material, but we don't designate that specially.

We haven't tried to mark public domain material in the past and I see no need to do so now. What is or is not in the public domain is somewhat country specific and it is not a rathole we need even to approach.
