This case is not a PR stunt. This is a test case that was purposely picked to test the law. This is quite common to find boundaries of any law and see if there is an opening for a commercial success.
This is a landmark case that will be referenced for quite some time and have significant impact on future cases around production with the aid of tools.
I like your analogy on the digital camera, but this is really not limited to this one case. For instance the case of monkey's selfie [0] is quite well known and touches on similar questions. This is obviously not a tool, nor object but it's also not a human.
We will have to find out where the boundaries lie between the tool is an aid and the tool is the source of creativity.
