Comment by WhiteNoiz3 | original | All AI-generated code should be Open Source
[−]WhiteNoiz3 · 2026-11-15 Sun 17:16 UTC · link
Personally I am less concerned with all AI generated code being open source. We will very quickly be drowning in a sea of code, and who even wants to see it if it's easily re-created by AI? Eventually everyone will be using AI and I don't think it's feasible or makes sense for all code to be open source. Personally I _would_ like to see all models trained on public data become open-weights. To me it seems unfair to let a few companies lock up all the value of the collective works of civilization without providing something back for free.
