Noone can discuss in good faith if the argument is: "If generated in bulk by vibe code" >> "what if I generate word by word with autocomplete".

This is IMHO the reason why we can't have sanity, because there are people ready to hack it.

That's why terms and laws are written vaguely. If you're obviously on one side of the line then you're obviously on one side of the line. If you're straddling the line, your punishment depends upon how the judge feels that day. So it would be wise not to risk it.

  • So no autocomplete. This is why people vote against their interest, they always assume laws are to reign in on other people until they understand the intention was different from what they understood and it hits them. Same old story.

I don't think this is a bad-faith response. Someone might fully retain copyright while using heavy autocomplete. I don't think such a person would be banned by the codeberg policy. This is at least a little bit unintuitive.
