The ruling has confirmed that only natural persons i.e., humans can be listed as the inventor in the patent application as per the Patent Act.
For your question, I think you will be within your rights to list yourself as the inventor of AI-generated invention, provided you were the first to do so and file an application that was accepted by the USPTO and defend the claim from anyone else who says they were also able to generate a similar work with a similar or same prompt.
It is an unsettled question whether a patent would be granted upon inspection by the USPTO.
IANAL and this is my common sense reading of the ruling.
