Good idea. Let’s make it a minefield of copyright infringement for the user so they never know whether it’s emitting something novel or it’s emitting AGPL code.


That's what the legal department at my employer (huge multinational corp) came up with: When an employee uses one of the approved gen-ai models it's on the employee to check the output isn't infringing - legal argues that not doing so would be grossly negligent, making the employee personally liable.


If my company had a policy like that I would just not use AI tools at all for anything.


Best possible outcome. Unlikely to be, but maybe even the intended outcome from legal's POV.


Why the heavy handed internet sarcasm? Youtube has handled this exact issue with fingerprints for a while.
