Ships already sailed but shouldn't AI generated things just be considered derivative of their training set?
I don't know how that works for images/video, but for code that means if it's trained on GPL code the resulting code would have to be GPL and the liability is on the people distiributing AI generated code.
This also makes commerical use of AI generated anything complicated while allowing personal use under the current state of non-enforceablity.
