My take on ai

This dcantrell fellow was quoted on LWN).

any code now that I've written and put on the internet is now in the belly of every LLM and can be spit back out at someone sans the copyright and licensing block does not one care about open source licensing anymore? did I not get the memo?

That's pretty much my conclusion on AI. Since Free Software licensing depends on copyright, and claiming you got something out of "AI" lets you do whatever you want regarding copyright, Free Software is probably going to be over as a concept. That's a huge shame.

For people who don't have problems with copy-pasting (which some might call plagiarizing), AI is pretty useful.
