GonzakoLLM Code and FOSS licenses are in conflict.

Consider having a stance on LLM code contributions, like perhaps a ban · Issue #413 · LemmyNet/lemmy-docs

xthexderThis was linked in the discussion there, and I think I’m a fan: sciactive.com/human-contribution-policy/
I’m definitely considering adding something like this to my projects.
Fascinating talk.
According to the U.S. copyright office and Library of Congress, copyrighted work require a ‘human’ element: www.congress.gov/crs-product/LSB10922
If art generated by AI can not be copyrighted, it may well extend to AI-generated code. If so, the implications could be pretty far-reaching.
The one, practical use-case of AI that has found ‘product market fit’ so far has been using AI for coding. Companies are encouraging it. Developers (including experienced ones) are starting to use more lf it. But if it turns out none of the generated output can be copyrighted, then you lose all the commercial users who are the revenue sources for all these tools and companies.
To be fair, this doesn’t mean you can’t use AI as a tool. An artist or a software developer can generate things with AI and orchestrate the pieces to become a new whole. That whole could still be copyrighted.
tabularProbably not. The Copyright Office maintains that merely promoting the AI, even promoting it further to alter the output, is not enough creative control to grant copyrights to its output. I’ve put the most relevant quotes here:
I’ve written and started using this policy:

Feel free to use it as is or adapt it as needed in your projects, or propose it to other open source projects. It’s got clear definitions of what is not allowed, so it should help eliminate any confusion.
