Taking the original of a painting from your house is stealing. Copying is only potentially violating the government-granted limited-time exclusivity that allows you to decide who can copy your work.
BTW I hereby allow you or your browser to copy this comment into your computer’s RAM.
It's telling that you need to fall back to non-creative information in your argument.
Clearly we're talking about the labor of creating a written or visual work, not the contents of your ram. I did not use the word copy either. My interpretation of the parent comment is that it was rationalizing by claiming all creativity is not fully original and therefore must have no rights.
Extrapolated further, this is a collapse of creative works as a profession.
Honestly I feel like I'm taking crazy pills these days.
Write a program! If it has a bug, debug it and update the program. Use an LLM to debug it if you must. If you're doing something repeatable, then use a traditional automation scheme.
If an LLM has to handle a subsection of the program, so be it. Just wrap that part with clean inputs and outputs.
Why does it feel like we've forgotten how to automate things?

everybody is too busy everyday fighting fires to garden all those standard automations; its much "easier" to just throw it at an llm and move on (just saying what i see)
- Value types is a huge one to add if we're looking at what is actually in the wild.
- Scopeless `using` declarations are nice for RAII like behavior.
- IMO C# builds are actually way way nicer than Java. Sln and .csproj files and nuget are actually a lot easier to deal with than javac/ant/mvn/Gradle. Maybe that's more a .NET thing than a C# feature.
