Makes total sense.

I am just wondering how do we differentiate between AI generated code and human written code that is influenced or copied from some unknown source. The same licensing problem may happen with human code as well especially for OSS where anyone can contribute.

Given the current usage, I am not sure if AI generated code has an identity of its own. It’s really a tool in the hand of a human.

It’s a power saw. A really powerful tool that can be dangerous if used improperly. In that sense the code generator can have more or less of a mind of its own depending on the wielder.

Ok I think I’ve stretched the analogy to the breaking point…
