Surprised not to see more mention of this. It would make sense for an AI to "copy" existing solutions. In the real world, we use clean room to avoid this.

In the AI world, unless all GPL (etc.) code is excluded from the training data, it's inevitable that some will be "copied" into other code.

Where lawyers decide what "copy" means.

It's not just about copying verbatim. They clearly use GPL code during training to create a derivative work.

Then you have the issue of attribution with more permissive licenses.
