No, I mean generating code using an LLM at all. Though it'll be up to the lawyers how it's applied. If the machine is the one generating the code, even if you're the one telling it what to generate, then it's still producing things you didn't type or research or... etc

@soph@grrl.me Ah ok! In practice I expect there is likely going to be a pretty big difference between the two. Once you get down to brass tacks: if a human is the one driving then it becomes hard to come up with language that does ban LLMs, but does not also ban things like compilers and digital cameras. Because both of those are also instances of: "I pressed a button and it automatically generated binary output – none of which was produced directly by me."
