The "creation" is algorithmic, and just like the calculator's output that cannot be copyrighted. That's based on "facts" of the universe, not "creation."
Is saying "i want a long form show about 80s teenagers in a small town, one of which has psychic powers, with an overarching dark force that opposes them" really going to be "creative" enough to protect a tv series worth of output?
I think that falls apart in the same way that setting up a security camera once and then walking away doesnt give you permanent copyright over whatever it captures. There isn't enough humanity in the creation to count it as "uniquely human." The court seems to agree.
