How do you know anything about anything an LLM generates? Presumably if you're the author you would recognize your own work?

I'm not going to be monitoring Chinese code projects. They don't seem to care much about copyright, so they'll probably just yoink the code into proprietary projects and not care about the licenses.

What am I going to do, sue someone in China? And decompile everything that comes from China to check if my code was likely in it? That's ridiculous. If it's domestic, I probably have a chance, but not if it's in another country, and especially not one like China that doesn't seem to care about copyright.
