When you file a patent based on a "novel" application or combination of existing ideas, or ideas from other sources, those ideas are not something you can patent. e.g in "somebody came up with a wheeled cart, somebody came up with an engine" your patent would not cover either sub idea (contextually, the thing the "AI" came up with), so all something needs to do is say given the non-patentable idea you got from a machine your patent covers an obvious application then your patent is invalid. A whole bunch of laws passed over the last decade to try to limit the validity of "X but on a Y" (where Y is in the theme of computer, internet, etc) style BS patents.
