I think that the elephant, monkey and Holy Spirit are discriminated here. I'll start a petition for equal rights for Holy Spirits and men alike.

There was a lawsuit over a photo that a monkey took with a camera, I'm willing to bet that's what the copyright office office was referring to.
Wasn't that because there was a dispute with a journalist and no one could define the difference ? Maybe not.

Although I'll never find it, there was a 1934 patent granted for an aircraft based on the maple seed. The inventor had seen maple seeds flying and designed an airplane based on the seed. I have always wondered how the inventor planned to prevent airsickness from the spiral motion.

The maple seed patent has been applied several times, more recently by Lockheed-Martin.
The patent centers around the seed's design as a means of propulsion.

"...lack of thought processes." A very prominent human charasteric.
Yes, what was it ? The two most abundant elements in the universe - hydrogen and stupidity.

I wonder if that is Bender's favourite movie.

Knowing Bender, he's probably into Ex Machina, since it has female robots.

FOX had an extended interview with Elon Musk the other night. He seemed to be quite serious in his belief in the need for government oversight/regulation in order to prevent harm (in various forms to society) from AI. His view seemed to be that AI will harm society if we are not very careful.
Elon Musk often says one thing than does another. He's largely useless to listen to.
Regardless it was stated that 50% of A.I. researchers assigned a probability of 10% that A.I. could get outside their control and end humanity if I recall: Even if the others assigned a probability of 0% that's still a probability of 5%.
That might sound low, but consider that with commercial aircraft, a 1/1,000,000,000 odds of failure of a critical component is the acceptable standard. While a lower threshold if I recall, the scientists at the Manhattan project assumed 1/3000 was the odds that a fission reaction would trigger a runaway thermonuclear reaction in the hydrogen in water and the nitrogen of the atmosphere (something which would vaporize earth). Those odds are bold to bet a whole planet on (and the only one known beyond the shadow of a doubt at the time to have any life on it), but that's way less than 1/20.
I more and more believe that AI will be the downfall of human creativity. They can now fake any artist and pretend it's new material. For instance in music, so they will be able to produce music by computer and flood the market with it without anyone knowing if it's real or not. Anyone can sound like anyone. It'll be worse than the dreaded autotune.
And this will be true for any art or human creativity, not just music.
As an example here a "new song by Nirvana", actually fully created by AI, lyrics, chord progressions, melody and of course Kurt's voice. I find it truly unsettling, it's almost real and I'm afraid of what they can do in 5 years time.

Or just humanity as a whole...
Plus it wouldn't be hard to justify all sorts of cynical excuses to curb or prevent such content.

Who is the "they" in the above? Given that AI-generated works cannot be copyrighted in the U.S., where is the benefit from "flooding the market" with AI music? Without copyright protection, and the exclusivity it provides, how will anyone earn revenue from AI music? It's one thing if someone makes some AI music for their own use, it's another entirely for a business or person who's looking to make money from their creation.

Meh, I'm skeptical of such prognostication. There's nothing existing currently which comes close to actual artificial intelligence.
Personally, I tend to think it's people suffering from Frankenstein complex. Shelley's story casts a long shadow in the collective memory.
"They" would be the streaming service I think. They would hugely benefit. Copyright is of no consequence.
They could even provide the song-making as a service. The client answers a couple of questions and they get their personal music playlist generated for them.

Even highly tested and controlled technology can go awry - self-driving cars that run over pedestrians and dive into emergency vehicles is completely outside of the programming perimeters.
