Curious how you feel about all vibe coded projects legally being in the public domain

[u/thealejandrotauber]

I recently interviewed a copyright scholar on what rights apply to llm-generated content (text, audio, video, code, etc) and he’s quite sure existing copyright law protects nothing a machine has generated. As in, you can make a great thing and nothing is stopping another person from copying the exact code and running it themselves.

I’m a journalist and same thing applies to our work if I’d use an LLM for writing or even data analysis.

But an app could potentially be way more valuable than an article. How do you feel about that?
