Anthropic is right here. You need to clearly define what commits are AI authored or you are conspiring to commit copyfraud.

AI does not enjoy copyright protection. Pretending you created something written by AI is copyfraud.

Interesting. According to the definition in that Wikipedia link, "copyfraud" is claiming copyright on public domain content.

Does this mean a company can take code from an open source project that used AI, put it into their closed source code, potentially modify it, all without attribution?

Which court has made a ruling on this? The only decision I'm aware of was that some Gen-AI artwork couldn't be copyrightable if it was made without substantial input, direction, and scrutiny.

There is of course, transformative use, and the slew of software packages we used to depend on without acknowledging the original maintainers on every commit.

That’s just your opinion on your own characterisation.

If anthropic believes in giving credit, why not give credit to all the content they stole?

Copyright shouldn't exist and AI (especially open weight models) is accelerationism to this point
