Are software licenses like GPL useless now that you can create a completely rewritten version of an entire codebase at the click of a button?

No, now they're even more important because they can protect your code from corporations. Yes, AI can recreate something similar in terms of functionality, but your code will remain your code, and not turn into Oracle's code, as often happens with OSS licenses.

You can either create a derivative or something very sloppy. We don't have a legal non-GPL Blender alternative, with the same level of functionality, and as good as it, do we? Blender uses the GPL so that it stays free and open source software. Copyright is owned by contributors and this reassures ...
