TL;DR: I really wanted to use a more permissive license so I don't mind AI scraping my code.

Fine for him, but it's totally reasonable for people to want to use the GPL and not have it sneakily bypassed using AI.

John Carmack seems to think isomorphic plagiarism and piracy bleed though is good for FOSS.

This is demonstrably incorrect given how LLM are built, and he should retire instead of trolling people that still care about workmanship. =3

Keep in mind, Carmack heads an AI company now. His opinion should be viewed with that context.
