https://reuse.software/faq/#uncopyrightable
The REUSE specification recommends claiming copyright even if it's machine generated. Is this incorrect information?
EDIT: Also, how is copyrighting code from an AI different than copyrighting an output from a compiler?
I believe it was a product of the earlier conflict between copyright owners and AIs on the training side. The compromise was that they could train on copyright data but lose any copyright protections on the output of the AI.
