I see myself getting subtooted by various people, and let me clarify what this thread is, and is not. My opinions on LLM usage are more complicated than "good vs bad".
But I have created a scoped analysis here. My opinion is that we are facing a *licensing hygiene crisis* from a situation where we do not and probably will not know the licensing situation of these tools for some time.
There are only two viable scenarios I can see:
- LLM output is unusable and a copyright mess that cannot be incorporated in any FOSS project
- *All* LLM output is effectively in the public domain.I am willing to accept either one of those, but the lack of knowledge of which situation we are facing makes me concerned about LLM based contributions entering FOSS projects on copyright grounds.
(There are plenty of other debates one can have about LLMs also, I have scoped them out of this particular thread.)
