Why does Thaler want to assign copyright to a non-human so badly, when he could simply take the credit himself?

https://www.wired.com/story/the-inventor-behind-a-rush-of-ai-copyright-suits-is-trying-to-show-his-bot-is-sentient/

Article tag line: "Stephen Thaler’s series of high-profile copyright cases has made headlines worldwide. He’s done it to demonstrate his AI is capable of independent thought."

imo, 10 bucks says Thaler is doing this so he can sell his AI construct as "you can copyright DABUS's output".
