Thanks for the summary!

I'm curious about the other direction when it comes to copyright.
If you include code written by an AI, is it really your copyright anymore?

Maybe not for the exact code, but now merely for the aggregation,
kind of like how books made up of other people's stories can be
copyrighted in the aggregate.

Interesting to think about anyway.
