alt Hacker NewsThe post claims (tongue-in-cheek, of course) that their customer owns the resulting code.
But that's not true!
According to binding precedent, works created by an AI are not protected by copyright. NO ONE OWNS THEM!!!
I think maybe this is a good thing, but honestly, it's hard to tell.

If you’re referring to Thaler v. Perlmutter, that is not binding precedent nationwide, only in courts under the D.C. Circuit. And it only applies to “pure” AI-generated works; it did not address AI-assisted works, which seem very likely to be copyrightable.

This is a misreading of the law. Court cases say that AI cannot own copyright, not that AI output cannot be copyrighted.
