The Supreme Court declined to hear the AI copyright case (Thaler v. Perlmutter).
Why?
The applicant listed an AI as the author of the work. The courts justifiably rejected the copyright claim because U.S. law requires a human author.
He deliberately refused to list himself as the author, and instead insisted the AI created the work autonomously.
The case did not address AI-assisted works where a human claims authorship.

And you’ll see antis all over the internet misrepresenting this case. It would be funny if it weren’t so sad watching people get so filled with spite that they refuse to look anything up. In the same breath they claim “AI bros let ChatGPT do the thinking for them,” then turn around and repeat the same factually wrong anti-AI talking points.
