On: EPO and UKIPO Refuse AI-Invented Patent Applications

This all becoming a bit too complicated... why not to just cancel the patent system and that's it?

:-)

(humor people, humor)

Well, maybe not humour in the end.

If we can't distinguish between machine and human-generated ideas how does it affect the patent system?

[neiman → ellimilial]

Yeah, the joke did have some insight to it. I'm a mathematician, where theorems cannot be patented. It makes things so much easier in case we'll start proving (some simple) theorems using computers in the near future.

Didn't mathematicians earn million-dollar rewards for their theorem - proving? :-)

[neiman → ellimilial]

Though I'm a mathematician I still think my odds are bigger winning the lottery than proving one of those million-dollar millennium problems :p
