Be careful there, open source is very distinct from copyright free. Notably, anything under a copyleft license, such as GPL, is considered open source while still being protected by copyright in a way that restricts how that code is used. There is a strong argument to be made that AI trained on copyleft code and generating new code based on that training is in violation of the license and thus copyright.
Fair enough. I’m sure that that will be thrown into the litigation machine over AI copyright with the rest of it. As for new code generated off of it, I would be incredibly shocked to find out that any user ever that didn’t specifically use AI with the actual knowledge and intent of copyright violation would ever have even a little bit of legal consequence from it.
Regardless, that’s my employer’s possible future problem. Not mine. I’m not doing a lot of coding projects in my spare time. Even if I were, I’m not paying for tokens to do what piddly shit I do write.
