This is a bit different than those examples, though. In the case of code, we're talking about the source code itself, regardless of further application of tools to it.
If the code itself cannot be copyrighted, then how it plays into the IP required to participate in open source becomes the issue

@soph@grrl.me The funniest outcome for sure is that the resulting ruling would make all software defacto illegal. "To the maintainers of this open-source project. We are the big co legal department. We would like to get your written sign-off that no 'AI assistive tooling' has ever been used in this project. It is important for our supply chain. We expect a reply within 5 days." If anything AI has touched becomes devoid of legal protections, then that would probably implode the tech sector overnight.
