Which in this scenario could be accomplished by starting that “this software contains algorithmically generated code that was trained using MIT derived code from X, Y, and Z.
This attribution list would be very long, but it could be done.
I think the interesting thing here would be to compare the generated code with the original training data after the fact. If the generated code does not already exist (with some degree of similarity), then it would be okay to use. Otherwise, if it did already exist, you’d then need to attribute the authors of the chunk of code — which you’d now know.
I’m not discounting the hurdles involved, but there might be ways to overcome them.
