@muvlon@hachyderm.io @allpurposemat@mastodon.gamedev.place It is not clear to me that the resulting works can infringe on copyrights. What section are you relying on for that analysis?
It is also not clear to me that there is a distinction with a difference to say that AI generated works are not copyrightable and somehow not public domain - if they aren't "owned", are they not in the public domain?

@yoasif@mastodon.social @allpurposemat@mastodon.gamedev.place This part from the executive summary: "Human authors are entitled to copyright in their works of authorship that are perceptible in AI-generated outputs" And I don't think it's a distinction without difference. If all LLM output were automatically public domain, it would mean you could vibecode to your heart's content without ever worrying about contaminating your project with e.g GPL licensed or proprietary code. But you can't, because it's not public domain, it might be copyright encumbered.
