    All AI-generated source should be ineligible for copyright protection at all, just like is the case for AI-generated art.

    But guess how that’s going to pan out when it gets to court.

      At least at the moment in the US, the copyright office makes no distinction between visual art and LLM slop, in that neither is eligible for protection. The courts have so far upheld this, though there haven’t been any “blockbuster”-level cases yet.

      So for the moment, AI-generated code is ineligible for protection.
