> 1. Code copyright has devalued a lot in general, as you can code significantly faster with LLMs and use them to launder GPL'd code into whatever you want.
I see no real evidence this is the case. Can you provide examples?
For instance -- do you see many Linux clones right now? Ask yourself: why might you not? Perhaps it's because it's almost impossible for an AI to rewrite Linux.
It is specifically with these smaller projects, not something like Linux or Chromium, that AI can accelerate. In particular, companies would probably not bother using an (A)GPL'd library, and would instead recreate them from scratch with help from AI. I don't have specific evidence for this, though.
