The ruling in Thaler v. Perlmutter is about something else entirely. He tried to argue that the AI itself was the author and that copyright should pass to him as he hired it.

It doesn’t matter what he argued. What matters is the judge’s decision, and that was about whether AI generated material is copyrightable in the first place. The judge agreed on a summary judgement based on the Copyright Office’s claims, not the defendants claims. That is legal precedent.

That isn’t an AI ruling though. That just upholds the existing precedent that non-humans can’t hold copyright.

If you refuse to read the ruling, then I don’t know why you’re even arguing.
