If you were to copyright AI art who would the credit go to? The original artists the training was based on? The person who created the training model? The person who writes the prompt? The computer itself? I don't think copyright makes sense in this context

Judges have ruled that they can't be copyrighted because of this lack of a true author, and I agree.

Fairly sure that was a case where the guy wanted to give the copyright to the ai algorithm itself and not about the copyrightability of the art. Specifically, he wanted them to be copyrighted as "as a work-for-hire to the owner of the Creativity Machine" - creativity machine is the name of the algorithm. Basically just a modern version of the monkey selfie kerfuffle.
