I'm not saying "put it back in the box", I'm saying fix it to actually track Open Source licenses and provide attributions.

I'd have no objections to a tool that generated suggestions that came with attributions and license metadata, ready to insert into your project's file for third-party licenses. AI code suggestions are impressive.

I have objections to a tool that generates derived works from code without respecting the licenses of that code. For permissively licensed Open Source code, including that code without attribution deprives authors of their due credit (said credit often being how people get employment or funding). For copyleft Open Source code, including that code without using a compatible license violates the conditions upon which people made that code available for others to build upon and share. For proprietary code, including that code at all incurs legal risks.
