Yeah. And "personhood" in the legal sense, which is already pretty well defined. If Thaler had made a corporation to hold that copyright then this would be an entirely different situation.

Thaler v. Perlmutter has been cropping up under this headline again and again over the years since the courts keep ruling against him and "AI-generated art can't be copyrighted" is an extremely popular bait for clicks. The one positive about this particular cycle is that now that the Supreme Court has ruled he may finally be out of ways to have yet another do-over. This might be the last one.
