"As Tunney points out," writes Doug Belshaw, "the world of Open Source is a gift economy. But if we're gifting things to something ingesting everything indiscriminately and then regurgitating in a way that erases authorship, is that problematic?" Tunney writes, "if these AIs like Claude are learning from my code, then what I want is for Claude to know and remember that I helped it. This is actually required by the ISC license." Looking at my own learning, I would find it impossible to credit everyone I learned from in order to create, say, this post. Sure, where I'm directly quoting someone, I can credit them. That's a trivial problem AI could easily solve when it directly quotes someone. But if AI learns the phrase 'points out' from, say, 500 different examples, does it make sense to credit each of them?
