There are only two strategies which are acceptable: either AI model output is completely illegal because of copyright stuff (this is unlikely to happen because there is now too much money behind it), or AI model output is fully in the public domain, which has its own problems but at least is an even playing field.

There won't be a middle ground that is safe. Because they want something that looks like a "middle ground", but really, all it does is lock in the big players' control over information, forever.

I fully expect well funded companies to repeatedly challenge "AI cannot be copywritten because it wasn't human generated", and I expect it will be continually chipped away. That's going to make things stupidly complicated for a lot of non-technical reasons for a long, long time.

The advice I've given is to absolutely, and definitively denote exactly what code was AI generated keep detailed records of the history around it (including the source and date), because I guarantee that will become the crux of any future decision.

Until there's case law established, AI code is a liability.
