@jamie no worries, it didn’t come across that way. Your sibling could easily know something I don’t. I just suspect it’s more complicated than the presence of ai code canceling out any copyright claims on adjacent code. Now that I think about it, do companies even register copyright for their code? I’ve personally never seen it done. It would mean that anyone could go to the library of congress and see it I believe. I’ve only done books but I had to send them a pdf.

If you use AI-generated code, you currently cannot claim copyright on it in the US. -
If you use AI-generated code, you currently cannot claim copyright on it in the US.@jamie not sure this is right based on my understanding. The things you quoted are about copyright registration, not copyright ownership. If I write a book, I own the copyright to that even if I never register it. If it was subsequently published with an ai generated appendix, I can’t see it invalidating the copyright on the non ai work. I’m not a lawyer either so I could be wrong.
