@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... It varies by jurisdiction. In the US, LLM output cannot be copyrighted and is public domain, but in the UK it can be copyrighted and the copyright holder is whoever prompted the LLM (assuming the LLM is not plagiarizing anything, which is questionable).

If it’s “legally significant” (10 lines of code or more), and if these LLM-produced contributions are not clearly identified, then one could consider the whole as public domain, AIUI.

Does that mean that you can make any program (or even any copyrighted work) public domain by adding LLM output to it and not clearly marking it? That can’t be right…
