If you read the USCO administrative letter [1], it wasn't complexity that killed the claim, it was stochasticity. That's a much shakier ground to stand on and only serves to highlight the deciding officer's inability to grasp how creative input, partial information, and stochasticity do not conflict with each other. The decision is full of holes because of the officer's narrow conception of mechanical devices. Probably a boomer.

Instead, as explained above, Midjourney begins the image generation process with a field of visual “noise,” which is refined based on tokens created from user prompts that relate to Midjourney’s training database. The information in the prompt may “influence” generated image, but prompt text does not dictate a specific result... Because of the significant distance between what a user may direct Midjourney to create and the visual material Midjourney actually produces, Midjourney users lack sufficient control over generated images to be treated as the “master mind” behind them.
