   Slightly offtopic, but made me wonder.

   Can you copyright things like this now that LLMs exist? I mean, up until now if a small startup has a great idea they will get bought out by big tech which will integrate (or kill) their tech. But now with LLMs can the likes of OpenAI just tell their model to make something that works similar to X (such as this project) and then get round copying laws and negate being behind the curve?

   EDIT: switched to the correct spelling of copyright.

      I don't see why LLMs should make the legal part different. It's like saying if you can copyright a book considering LLMs now can copy / write a new one in just one hour. Making it faster doesn't change the legal aspect / ownership of something.
