Unless patented, are we not in a situation in which all publicly accessible code can be laundered through LLMs? If I find a source available code, I can just launder it? (lemmy.ml)

Can you explain? I’ve seen vibe coded projects with licenses. Are they not valid?

    Even before getting into the copyrightability of code, at the very least, any LLM-produced parts are not copyrightable. They are public domain.

    That said, if its a mix of LLM code and human code, things get pretty messy. From my understanding, if the human expanded on or modified AI code, its public domain. If they wrote a section fully independently, they absolutely own the copyright. If its an unclear mix, it would have to be proven on a case-by-case basis with the onus being on the AI user to provide solid evidence that the code copied isn't AI generated.
