Hypothesis: If the output of LLMs cannot be copyrighted, anything in the training set becomes public domain.
If the recent attempt to LLM-rewrite chardet [1] holds up, then any copyrighted material can be laundered through an LLM.
Any inputs sent to an LLM for any purpose become part of the training set.
Thus, any company using LLMs has put their source code in the public domain.
But you also de-copyright research papers, the windows source code, and fintech?
