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.

  copywriting is the art of writing copy for products/marketing maybe you were thinking of sherlocking [1]

    I sure the intended word was copyright[0], as in to protect against getting sherlocked.

    Copyrights protect the literal text of your program and binaries. Not the design and functionality. Getting Sherlocked is having your functionality duplicated, independent of the code itself.
    No one thinks Apple violated Sherlock copyright. They just made it (nearly) functionally redundant.
