Even though many people use the phrase at inappropriate times, this is a perfect use of "correlation is not causation". It could easily be, for example, that health problems that lead to poor sleep patterns also lead to a lower average lifespan.

This is not true. The decision you're linking and referencing is about an AI that generated its own image with no human input at all. It was designed that way specifically so that the person who owned the AI could attempt to claim copyright over the generations merely by ownership of it. DallE, Midjourney, etc etc all use human input, so would not be covered by the same decision or rationale. It's not been tested with a government agency or the courts yet, but the assumption is that the human input of the prompt should make it copyrightable.

That was my immediate takeaway, too. It's an absolutely pointless statement. Of *course* the goal of any process is to reduce false negatives and false positives. And of *course* AI chooses between the two. Literally every process does. It's basically a tautology. Even when some specific process is improved and both rates are lowered, it will *still* be prioritizing between them. And the implication in the statement is that, somehow, we can improve AI in general to reduce both false negatives and false positives in every context across the board, which is an absolutely ludicrous idea. Or that AI can't do this is somehow a failure. This bit here makes me thing the CEO of Serve Robotics has no idea how any of this works. Not just AI, but science and algorithms and human knowledge in general.

What you get is a physical reality. You can be reductive in describing the cartridge, just like you can describe a human as "mostly a bag of water", but it misses the point. The old cartridge is a *thing*. An NFT isn't. It's more like owning the *receipt* of an old game cartridge. Or even clearer, NFTs are quite literally exactly like Star Naming scams. You don't buy the star, the rights to it, the resources from it, or even the privilege of actually naming it in some official capacity. You simply buy a certificate saying "Wow, you named this star!" You buy an NFT and you own zero rights to it. You don't have a physical original, you don't own the copyright, you can't reproduce it or have it printed on t-shirts. You just own the certificate and can resell that certificate.
