I can't help but feeling like if we're just going to be talking about copyright, we've jumped the shark.

Thanks for sharing!

It's difficult to find good software productivity metrics. One metric we heard a lot - hopefully less often now[*] - is: number of new lines of code per day. I hope this was a "streetlight effect": looking at that particular metric because it's a simple metric despite it measuring the "wrong" thing. Yet I heard it from many managers and even from some "respected" developers... :-(

Using AI to automate refactorings or to find bugs sounds great, I'm all for it. Throw-away prototypes and some other uses are fine too. But every experienced software developer should cringe when hearing "Look at how many lines of code I can write per day!". It does not matter whether all this new code is reviewed by humans or AI or both: duplication is a massive waste, period.
