Supreme court declines to hear dispute over copyright in regards to AI generated art. So AI generated art is not copyrightable. If that is the case are other things generated by AI? Code?

Computer scientist Stephen Thaler has once again failed before the US Supreme Court. The Supreme Court of the USA refused on Monday to address the question of whether art created by artificial intelligence (AI) can be protected by copyright under US law and dismissed a lawsuit by Thaler. The case has been dealt with by various courts over several years.
