> Zarya of the Dawn concludes that human direction and selection is not enough to produce a copyrightable work from AI generated content. Without copyright, there is no legal basis to offer a license. The code is public domain or worse, mislicensed, AI washed GPL or BSD.

I am of the opinion that there is very little humans can do that other reasonably competent humans cannot also do. So the entire idea of IPR is a joke, but the idea has been with us for a few centuries and might stay on for one more.

That said, human direction is critical in so many things. A camera can be operated by any monkey; all you need to do is click a button. But knowing how to focus, what to focus on, and so may of those tiny decisions is what makes photography an art form. There are hundreds of such fields where the actual human effort involves providing direction to an otherwise mechanical process.
