## AI-Created Rubbish Still Can’t Score Copyright, Says Appeals Court
### Give It a Rest, Pal – AI Ain’t Got an Artistic Bone
Aye, we’re back at it. A lad named Stephen Thaler has been going on about how his so-called “Creativity Machine” ought to snag copyright on whatever digital drivel it spits out. And guess what? For what seems like the umpteenth time, the courts have told him to naff off.
The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has confirmed that AI-generated content without any human touch isn’t getting copyright cover. No big shock there.
### AI’s ‘Masterpiece’ – Just Flashy Gobbledygook
Thaler, who clearly doesn’t have enough to do, believes his AI is a digital Picasso. His argument is basically: “Me computer done this, so it ought to get a copyright.” Aye, and me Jack Russell should be on the payroll for barking at the delivery guy.
Thankfully, the court isn’t daft. It pointed out (again) that copyright’s meant for creations by real people, not clever calculators churning out junk.
### The Law Stays Firm – Tough Luck, Geeks
If Thaler was banking on some kind of AI breakthrough, he’s well out of luck. The court laid it down straight – copyright law has never included works created solely by machines, and it won’t be kicking that door down anytime soon.
Fair play, there’s a valid argument about AI being a helping hand in creative endeavors, but Thaler’s case isn’t cutting it. If you’re using AI as a tool, like a brush or a keyboard, then fair enough – the human touch is still there. But this lad wants the AI to hold rights itself, which is just mad.
### The Bigger Picture – AI’s Role in Copyright Clashes
This case is just scratching the surface of the AI and copyright law saga. While Thaler’s busy making a fool of himself in court, more serious talks are unfolding about AI-assisted creations and who really owns them. Major companies leveraging AI to pump out content will definitely be keeping tabs on these legal battles, hoping to cash in without compensating the proper creatives.
For now, though, the verdict remains unchanged – AI ain’t scoring copyright privileges.
##
Summary: AI Copyright? Still a Load of Rubbish
Another appeal down the drain, another AI case gone up in smoke. Thaler can keep trying, but unless he somehow crafts an AI that’s legally a person, it’s all just a massive waste of effort. The law states copyright belongs to humans, and no amount of geek fury is going to flip that. Now, if you’ll pardon me, I’ve got a Jack Russell to treat with some belly rubs.
