As soon as a human writes a prompt, a correction, a design guideline, a code review, it becomes a question of who has the better lawyer. Which I would bet the billion dollar Corp has the better chances.
so they would have to argue what counts as a transformative work of plagiarism. how much of a stolen painting you have to paint over before it’s no longer stolen.

I’m not a lawyer, no idea what would they argue, I just know the lawyer price beats being right many times.
