I have asked ChatGPT to develop me code I would release for GPL. It then
inserts comments at the start to say the code is released under the GPL.
So, whilst like yourself I don't have a legal background, I don't think
copyright should be an issue.

I think asking for AI prompts to be recorded has some merit, but when
logged into an AI system it will remember things you wrote ages ago.

If we are not at the point where AI generated code has less bugs than human
generated code, we soon will be.

I notice the need to get AI to comment its code properly. It's also worth
getting a different AI engine to scrutinise the code generated by the
first.
