Well, the opressed and enslaved usually has no say about changing the law.
It's a good thing that AI isn't capable of being oppressed or enslaved. Because it's currently less AI and more, janky code that does a thing, and sometimes does it correctly.
For now. 40 years ago, what it does now was impossible science fiction.
And for the next 40 years it will likely remain science fiction.
So there's no point in fucking up all the case law for something that doesn't exist. Seriously, copyright needs to be cut down, not expanded further. It's already the life of the author plus 70 years. How does that even work? Copyright is meant to get humans to produce more creative works, so how the fuck does that work after death?
The answer is, corporations that don't die. They want more control, and want AI to make shit, so they don't have to pay real people to do it.
So no. No copyright for theoretical AI. no copyright for monkeys with names assigned by some third party. Just stop trying to expand copyright.
