Is AI going to fucking kill Free Software?

Considering what I'm reading,it only seems like AI force you to not be able to license it,which is even better

Better for who?

in general ?
it both means you can't monetize it,nor even claim it via copyleft or anything,it effectively sideline AI work entirely.

Yeah. The “open source community” is going to die. I saw something very weird the other day where a guy on X was telling a vibecoder that he needs to use his copyleft license if he’s building off his code and he just told him he didn’t give a fuck bitch as if he didn’t even understand what the guy was talking about.

This idea here, take some original IP and just tell AI to rephrase it to take ownership, may have further implications than just software. It might extend to… literally all IP.

You can monetize it as long as you keep it a secret.
