AI And The Ship of Theseus
Read OriginalThe article discusses the implications of AI and automated tools re-implementing existing software libraries, using cases like 'chardet' and hypotheticals like 'readline'. It examines the resulting legal, ethical, and copyright questions, especially regarding GPL vs. MIT licensing, and what constitutes a derived work when code is regenerated from test suites. It questions the future of software ownership and licensing as the cost of code generation plummets.
