AI-generated code uncopyrightable in the US

Hi all,

In reviewing the recent "Dealing with (potential) slop packages" 
thread:

  https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/[email protected]/T/#t

there was discussion about the possibility of gen AI possibly 
violating others' copyright, but not - as far as i can tell - any 
discussion about the fact that, in the US at least, AI-generated 
code is not copyrightable, as per this post by Chiitoo on the 
forums:

Chiitoo quotes a post by Jamie Gaskins on Mastodon, which was 
itself shared by Greg K-H:

Have there been any discussions elsewhere in the Gentoo project 
about this, given that copyright is the basis for various types of 
licensing (e.g. permissive and copyleft licenses)? Are there other 
jurisdictions which also regard AI-generated code as 
uncopyrightable? Is the use of AI-generated code simply so 
widespread at this point (e.g. as claimed by 
https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware) that trying to sort 
out the situation re. copyright and licensing is well beyond the 
capacity of both Gentoo in general and of package maintainers in 
particular?
