> If SCOTUS is saying that AI works, even those co-authored by humans, are not eligible for copyright/patenting;

They aren't.

The copyright office isn't either.

Everybody is very explictly saying that if you use say Sora to generate an image and you apply for a copyright with "Sora" as the author it'll be denied.

Same as if you apply for a copyright with "My Dog" as the author.

Authors must be humans and if you do not fill the author field out with a human it's denied. This has nothing to do with the tool used to create the art work.
