Which lawsuit are you referring to? I'm pretty sure GP is referring to the US Copyright Office guidance on copyrighting AI output in the US: https://copyright

  I was referring to the recent case against the artist Stephen Thaler, which people interpreted [1] as saying that works created by AI could not be copyrighted. This wasn't what was shown, though. Rather, the judge was ruling about a strawman argument framed by Thaler, where he explicitly stated that he was not the creator, and that he was listing the AI as an "artist for hire." I don't see where in your link it says, as GP did, that "creations of a machine [...] are not eligible for copyright protection." The guidance says that the author must be human, but that "In the case of works containing AI-generated material, the Office will consider whether the AI contributions are the result of “mechanical reproduction” or instead of an author’s “own original mental conception, to which [the author] gave visible form.” The latter is copyrightable. "This policy does not mean that technological tools cannot be part of the creative process.
