The really annoying part is how the copyright lawyers have zero respect for the work of human review and refinement. Reviewing, editing and refining AI code isn't authorship, it's "adoption", they say. Repeated iteration is just rerolling the dice, they say. Not enough to make it copyrightable, they say.

Meanwhile all the actual programmers demand that you spend effort constantly reviewing and iterating on the AI's work so the project doesn't turn into slop.

Damned if you do, and damned if you don't. Maybe the best course of action is to opt out. Copyright is irrelevant if the software isn't published. So much for our precious commons.
