> The second reason is legal: purely AI-generated code is not written by a human, meaning it should not be copyrightable
I think that's the actual point here. AI-generated code shouldn't necessarily be open source, but it is not (or should not be) copyrighted. You can still keep it as a trade secret, but you have no legal protections that prevent others from reusing it once they have access to it.

The funny thing is though that soon this isn't even really going to be that much of a need to re-use someone else's code?
