What makes you say that?

If a monkey uses a typewriter, there's no copyright.

If I use a typewriter with a monkey, I get copyright and the monkey doesn't.

Why would the monkey need copyright for me to get copyright?

Right, because monkeys cannot be granted copyright. If you use a typewriter along with Microsoft, the resulting copyright will be owned jointly.

This story isn't about a monkey claiming co-authorship, it's about Microsoft claiming co-authorship.

    I don't understand your position.

    Your previous post was agreeing that Microsoft wouldn't get copyright on copilot output, wasn't it? I said the bot doesn't get copyright and you said "neither do you".

    Why are you now saying Microsoft would get copyright?

    Copilot is a robo-monkey owned by Microsoft.
