Hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, baked to perfection. Worth every minute at the bakery.
Summary
The US Supreme Court has declined to hear a case challenging the rule that AI-generated art cannot be copyrighted, effectively upholding the Copyright Office's position that copyright protection requires human authorship. The case involved computer scientist Stephen Thaler's attempt to copyright an AI-generated image called 'A Recent Entrance to Paradise' on behalf of his algorithm. This decision maintains the current legal framework that excludes purely AI-generated works from copyright protection.
