The work of art was 'created' by an anonymous author, the AI. Title 17 explicitly handles works by anonymous authors. I can't just claim them if I didn't create them. If I can claim I own works created by my code, and the code is the artist, then Adobe owns every work created with it's tools that does not have a seperate copyright claim. Which Adobe obviously doesn't. This is not new or novel, it's just like with Napster, the current law in inconvenient to what people WANT to do, so they claim the reality they want. If the work is unique enough to claim copyright, then the algorithm added the uniqueness/copyrightable characteristics, not your writing the algorithm, and therefore the AI is an anonymous Author. If it is your algorithm that is doing the creating, then Adobe owns the copyrights to the work generated using it's algorithm, which it obviously doesn't. I am missing the gray (grey) area here.
