The advent of AI LLM coding apps like #Claude and #ChatGPT have prompted maintainers to integrate LLM contributions into #opensource.

This is a fast path to irrelevancy, since the US copyright office says LLM outputs are uncopyrightable. This means that as uncopyrightable LLM outputs are integrated into open source codebases, value leaks out of the project, since the open source licences are not operative on public domain code.
