I don't see extreme views in this article. When LLMs take creative content from copyleft code, the license says the output has to be copyleft. Otherwise, it's theft.

If LLMs weren't trained on AGPL/GPL/LGPL code, it'd be different. But they are.

They were trained on those lefty licenses.

Say you read those codes yourself and built same thing yourself but different code base. That's what AI is doing. Do you still enforce that open sourceness to those?
