Yeah I think people are reading this the wrong way. Software was originally considered unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. ยง 101, but language was developed to allow software to be patented by narrowing the scope of the claimed inventions to a physical processor which are programmed to contain specific algorithms.

I don't think this is a showstopper in terms of copyright registration of A.I. works, but rather a first step in a back-and-forth process of figuring out the legal structure of how to makes rules and enforcement work.
