No one goes to an LLM and says, 'Make code'. More often than not (and with exceptions) there's a very specific problem getting solved. The distinction between human 'effort' (whatever that means) and Ai effort (??) is more or less arbitrary... Infact, it's almost xenophobic and snooty. Pre-Ai humans had other humans build something like x but with y specific features. If it wasn't a problem then, it's not a problem now just because people don't have to directly deal with another human. In the same vein, I think people are forgetting that sometimes projects are birthed by slapping together code (or an instruction for code) from all across the Internet.
So really... What even is 'purely Ai generated' code? Nothing comes from nothingness and generally I'd prefer the purest expression of my ideas be protected regardless of who wrote it... Human4hire or Chat.
EDIT:
This article is unnecessarily upsetting. I don't even understand the problem when at the end of the day. A shit ton of the value accrues to all of us... humans! Not even the companies (atleast not so far). If Artificial Intelligence really is a utility, like electricity, then wtf is exactly the problem? I hope nobody really gives any real thoughts to policing Ai usage... It'd be as unreasonable as policing a calculator or pen and paper.
