I sure the intended word was copyright[0], as in to protect against getting sherlocked.

Copyrights protect the literal text of your program and binaries. Not the design and functionality. Getting Sherlocked is having your functionality duplicated, independent of the code itself.

No one thinks Apple violated Sherlock copyright. They just made it (nearly) functionally redundant.

I don't see why LLMs should make the legal part different. It's like saying if you can copyright a book considering LLMs now can copy / write a new one in just one hour. Making it faster doesn't change the legal aspect / ownership of something.
