I just used o3 to design a distributed scheduler that scales to 1M+ sxchedules a day. It was perfect, and did better than two weeks of thought around the best way to build this.

You just asked it to design or implement?

If o3 can design it, that means it’s using open source schedulers as reference. Did you think about opening up a few open source projects to see how they were doing things in those two weeks you were designing?

why would I do that kind of research if it can identify the problem I am trying to solve, and spit out the exact solution. also, it was a rough implementation adapted to my exact tech stack

So you could stick your own copyright notice on the result, for one thing.

What's the point holding copyright on a new technical solution, to a problem that can be solved by anyone asking an existing AI, trained on last year's internet, independently of your new copyright?

All sorts of stuff containing no original ideas is copyrighted. It legally belongs to someone and they can license it to others, etc.

E.g. pop songs with no original chord progressions or melodies, and hackneyed lyrics are still copyrighted.

Plagiarized and uncopyrightable code is radioactive; it can't be pulled into FOSS or commercial codebases alike.
