I think you're maybe saying something a bit more grandiose than what I'm trying to get at, which is around the code being generated itself by AI.
Here I'm not talking like autogenerated version bumps, but really truly stuff trained on unknown IP.
If some projects need to rollback and try again, I don't think that would be devastating. Sure, newer projects might suffer, but there was plenty of waste when the hype was around stuff like blockchain, too.

@soph@grrl.me I guess what Im trying to get at is that if *any* amount of AI code is considered uncopyrightable, that would become a poison pill for any project that has had any amount of AI code contributed to it. It's not like every line of code authored by an LLM has a label that says: "I was written by an LLM." If I'm not mistaken there are OSS projects like the Linux kernel which will accept PRs that were partially authored by LLMs. I don't see how that could be untangled.
