> The rest of us non-AI-whizzes combined literally wrote 100% of the functioning open source code that the AI-whizzes steal

Open source is hard to steal. It's intended to be taken for free with some license limitations. Second, most giants are already dead. Their work was used for free and that was/is considered normal. Third, many 'AI-whizzes' contributed to open source for long time.

In any case AI will be used on open source. For example to find bugs and backdoors at scale.

Even if AI-whizzes have contributed to open source for a long time, which I question, it does not give them the right to take everyone else's code. Neither does using "AI" on open source.

Moreover, many "AI" open source code bases are a mess and probably wouldn't even contribute in a positive manner to training.
