You want me to trust M$ in all this? Embrace, extend, extinguish.

Fellow nerds, you really need to go into work on Monday and have a hard chat with your C levels and legal (Because IANAL). The question is: Who owns the output of LLM/AI/ML tooling?

I will give you a hint, it's not you.

Do you need to copyright what a CS agent says, no, you want them on script as much as possible. An LLM parroting your training data is a good thing (assuming a human wrote it). Do you want an LLM writing code, or copy for your product, or a song for your next corporate sing along (Where did you go old IBM)? No you dont, because it's likely going straight to the public domain. Depending on what your doing with the tool and how your using it, it might not matter that this is the case (its an internal thing) but M$, or openAI, or whoever your vendor is, having a copy that they are free to use might be very bad...

Also, you might be given someone else’s proprietary IP, setting yourself up for a lawsuit.

If I grab something off GitHub, and the license there is GPL, but it was someone else's IP I do have some recourse and for my infraction.

In the case of an LLM handing it to me can I sue MS or OpenAI for giving out that IP, or is it on me for not checking first? Is any of this covered in the TOS?

a hint - the "M$" thing is not smart or funny, just old.

Microsoft hasn't embraced that ideology in close to more than a decade by now. Might be the time to let go of the boomer compulsion.

Have I just been transported to Slashdot in 2003?

I'm not sure you appreciate how enterprise licence agreements work. Every detail of who owns what will have been spelled out, along with the copyright indemnities for the output.
