No, code that has been purely written by an LLM is not copyrightable.
As soon as a human writes a prompt, a correction, a design guideline, a code review, it becomes a question of who has the better lawyer. Which I would bet the billion dollar Corp has the better chances.
so they would have to argue what counts as a transformative work of plagiarism. how much of a stolen painting you have to paint over before it’s no longer stolen.
pretty much, with the caveat that code that has gone through an llm can’t ever be licensed or copyrighted. it’s basically a public domainifyer.
That doesn’t seem to stop corporations assuming their software is still theirs even when an LLM wrote a lot of it.
until it goes to court. i am giddy for the day.

I’m not a lawyer, no idea what would they argue, I just know the lawyer price beats being right many times.
