Everybody.
Thank Naruto the Macaque for helping set the precedent that copyrightable material requires 'human authorship'.

This monkey may have single-handedly destroyed the AI art industry. 🐵🎉  
dish @companiondishtoday I woke up to the lovely news that an AI-generated comic lost its copyright protection because the USPTO determined that "copyrightable works require human authorship."
