Copyright in USA is automatic for the author, I think whether the user of software is the author of an AI's work is yet to be established in the courts, but its pretty clear the creator of the software doesn't own its output. The dumbass you refer to was testing patent law by trying to register his software as the inventor but the copyright case is different: > the office’s 2019 ruling [...] found his A.I.-created image “lacks the human authorship necessary to support a copyright claim.” > Thaler noted to the [US Copyright Office] he was “seeking to register this computer-generated work as a work-for-hire to the owner of the Creativity Machine.” https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/us-copyright-office-rules-ai-art-cant-be-copyrighted-180979808/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/us-copyright-offic...
