The License states it was made with ai, but it also says that "humans
shouldn't be able to copyright claim ai content"
As i saw in Vol 149, Issue 6:

"A note on
meta-context This license was initially drafted with AI assistance (Claude,
Anthropic) at the direction of a human. We believe this is appropriate and
have disclosed it in the repository. The license is itself an example of
the category of work it governs. We welcome feedback from the committee and
the community at large."

While the License says:

"3. NO COPYRIGHT CLAIM (Fully AI-generated only)
   When the "Fully AI-generated" box is checked, the Originator
   makes no copyright claim over the Software. The Software is
   dedicated to the public domain to the maximum extent
   permitted by applicable law. Where public domain dedication
   is not legally possible, the Originator grants a perpetual,
   irrevocable, royalty-free license to all parties for any
   purpose."

AND the Readme of the license on "GitHub" says
" *This license was itself written by an AI (Claude, Anthropic) at the
direction of a human author. We think that's fitting."*

Therefore it contradicts itself and has no legal meaning.
