If I publish a novel that incorporates some quotes from Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes, will courts rule that I have no copyright and the entire novel is public domain? I don't think so. Prove me wrong.

If I publish a program product that incorporates some public domain code, AI-generated or otherwise, will courts rule that I have no copyright and the entire product is public domain? I don't think so. Prove me wrong.

Of course the portions that are in the public domain remain in the public domain and everyone is free to copy them. But if you want to copy these portions, it is entirely up to you to identify them. I as the publisher don't have to assist you in any way.

Also note that if I publish an arrangement of a public domain tune, I have copyright on the arrangement, although not on the tune. Likewise, if I substantially edit public domain code, the copyright on the edits is mine. You are welcome to undo my edits and use the public domain portion as you see fit. I don't have to tell you what my edits were. Good luck.

The cashier and you bought the same lie.
The store isn't trying very hard to hire or they would raise the wage until they had the employees they wanted and the retention they desired.

The actual complaint is that no one will work random hours each week always under 32 hours for minimum wage. However that doesn't let you look down on the poors so you won't like this.

"A kid growing up today will never be smarter than AI, but he or she will also never have understood a world where every product and service that they interact with is not really smart and really capable and really helpful,"

OK, so show us these really smart AI things. When I have to describe in 3 different ways to the AI bot that the Amazon order is wrong, and something a human would have picked up instantly....that does not sound 'really smart' to me.

Don't worry, you don't have to be honest with yourself here in your TDS afflicted echo chamber. Let your selective outrage flow and ignore that all politicians extensively lie, including the previous U.S. president who assured us that he wouldn't pardon his crackhead son, but did anyway.
