Copyright is our current framework for rewarding creativity and encouraging innovation. It fundamentally depends on the assumption that protection of creative works is possible and feasible. That assumption is what's under assault by copilot and AI systems in general.

It's easy to forget that protection of creative works is only a means to end, not the goal or ideal state.

I believe AI systems will be able to help us build a new system that can track attribution of ideas and identify predecessor works from derivative products. This attribution could then form the foundation of a reward system. This is just one possible future.
