@yosh@toot.yosh.is @soph@grrl.me From a copyright perspective object code is a direct translation of the human-written source code. It's a 'derivative work', like any other translation. In copyright, there is a distinction between the idea and the expression of the idea, so saying 'I have an idea for some code' aand then the AI does the work, the work is not copyrightable. It may, however, be basically plagiarizing other work in the process. One expects this will not be last we hear from lawyers.
