Microsoft has claimed that something like 30% of the code for Windows is AI-generated. (I have not verified that they even said that, maybe that’s totally fake.) Last i checked AI-generated stuff cannot be copyrighted. Does this mean that significant portions of Windows are un-copyrightable, and MacroSlop couldn’t do a damn thing if someone leaked those parts?
And then, reservations about including slop in a software project aside, what could this mean for things like ReactOS? They’ve been careful to avoid including any MS-owned code, but nobody owns slop code.
I’ve been on top of these topics for years and I’ve somehow never thought of it like this. It’s not like they can remove some of the training material from the finished model. If they fucked upand included open-source training data, it should all be open-source and they can eat shit and get wrecked.
