Look at malus.sh they even market an AI to steal open source projects...
Note that malus.sh is a satire pointing out something that the companies are certainly very happy about, but the real AI companies haven't been that forthcoming with the laundering of copying software through LLM.
"I used to feel guilty about not attributing open source maintainers. Then I remembered that guilt doesn't show up on quarterly reports. Thank you, MalusCorp."
Chad Stockholder Engineering Director, Profit First LLC
Malus was probably born out of satire but is very real with completely real paying customers.
You can choose to believe it's "too evil to be true" but it is.
