I guess the real question is, if you have AI write the code, do you have the right to add your Signed-off-by to it? Especially if you don't know what that AI was trained on. Does the Signed-off-by mean if later on, we find that the AI used an patented algorithm, the one that added their SoB can be in legal trouble? -- Steve
