> AI files a copyright claim against the original artist

If I read this verbatim, AI, and not the AI company, filed a copyright claim.

I thought I read somewhere that AI/LLM works can't be copyrighted, or is this yet another "appeal after appeal after appeal" affair?

And I have no idea where this USSC would rule, or how many Winnebagos it would take to sway the decision.

That's one of the reasons I'm not a fan of extrajudicial processes like YouTube's Content ID: they don't give any court the opportunity to point things like that out.
