No, I wrote all this myself...

If it isn't considered prior art, then that de-facto makes it possible to patent AI-generated content by laundering them through humans.

  I think that's probably expected and also not a big deal. As long as there is a human in the loop it becomes rate limited, saving people from having to look for prior art in some exabyte shit heap.

    It's also rate-limited because patents cost money, go into a queue for years, and are reviewed by humans.

      Registering patents cost money but producing prior art does not.

So what you need is a Manfred running the ai, patenting millions of inventions and giving them away to charities!
