The AI-rewrite should be considered a derivative, & therefore subject to the parent-license, I believe.
Except that AI doesn't have any right to copyright, & therefore to licensing.
Which means that it's just an illegal derivative made by a tool.

Not sure why downvoted, this is the correct take
AI Bros are fucking wild.
"Not sure why downvoted"
Many find "me" unacceptable/offensive.
Downvoting me is fine: it makes them happy, & I don't value such "social-validation" delusion.
They're making the world be more the way they want!
Isn't that worth something?
Integrity's worth more to me than "friends", so human-"reality" & I are on divergant-paths..
My continuum/soul won't be getting caught in this-world again, if I succeed.
