People show completely opposite reactions to AI generated creative contents vs technical materials such as source codes and instruction manuals.
If you think about the distinction between those, it is often so considered that both are covered by copyrights, despite technical definitions of copyrights never covering mere technical resources, such as some computer programming things and instruction documents.
Only contents of artistic values are supposed to be covered by copyright laws.
IMO, what AI revealed is that most copyrighted software and documents are in fact not covered by copyright laws as per the naive model of it among common folks as well as legal text, as opposed to what precedents say. Code is not copyrightable.
I don't necessarily support that stance from practical standpoint, and I'd rather like everything be licensed under AGPLv3++ than entire concept of code copyright fall apart overnight, but this feels like the writings on the wall to me.
