Then you lose the positive marketing you get by saying "I invented an AI which invents stuff".

#5My guess is the Patent Office doesn't want to be swamped by some machine learning equivalent of adding 'on a computer' to every verb in the dictionary.

In a lawsuit, each inventor can be forced to sit for an hours-long deposition, under oath. Better hope you don't screw up the answer to any of the questions...
