"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

If MS Windows is AI-generated, can it still be under copyright? (lemmy.world)

Microsoft has claimed that something like 30% of the code for Windows is AI-generated. (I have not verified that they even said that, maybe that's totally fake.) Last i checked AI-generated stuff cannot be copyrighted. Does this mean that significant portions of Windows are un-copyrightable, and MacroSlop couldn't do a damn thing if someone leaked those parts?

And then, reservations about including slop in a software project aside, what could this mean for things like ReactOS? They've been careful to avoid including any MS-owned code, but nobody owns slop code.

Let me give you an example that can help answer your question.

I, a shitbag "entrepreneur", find and open source project I like that does 95% of what I want. I proceed to feed the code, design docs, and anything else I can find from the project to an AI. I then ask the AI to write the application from scratch using what I fed it as "inspiration", and add the 5% functionality I want. Now, let's say the AI gets it pretty close to working. Close enough that I can hire a dev to clean it up and get it going.

At the moment, that project is not covered by the open source license since the original code is gone and I used my own resources to "develop" it. I state "at the moment" because there is much debate around this.
