Of all the things we have to worry about when we have general AI, whether or not they can own ip seems like a small one.

Billions of dollars of lawyer time is wasted annually on this small issue with just humans. It's not as trivial as it seems at first.

It turns out the AI's conquer humanity not through violence, but by highly optimized IP trolling. Hell, we already have a flavor of this on Youtube, where algorithms flag content all day long with little recourse for innocent victims.

I agree. Until the AI itself can complain that someone is getting credit for their work, this isn't a huge issue. Once an AI gets to the point where it feels cheated and wants a cut we've got a very big problem.
