Whether it's committed or not is irrelevant to the conclusion there, the question is what was the input.

For something like a compiler where the output is mostly deterministic[0] I agree. For an AI that was trained on an unknown corpus, and that corpus changes over time, the output is much less deterministic and I would say you lose the human element needed of copyright claims.

If it can be shown that for the same prompt, run through the AI several times over perhaps a year, results in the same output - then I will change my mind. Or if the AI achieves personhood.
