I asked agent X what is the source of training data it generated code from, it couldn’t say. Then I asked why the code implementation is exactly the same as the output of agent Y. It said they were trained on the same ‘high-quality library’, and still couldn’t say which one.
So I guess that’s fine because everyone is doing it.

It's both and I don't see how that matters. > The comment is relevant to the suspicion that THE software is using (distributing) some OSS code without attribution. The accusations in the comment are relevant. Framing it as a conversation with an LLM and showing its responses, when that LLM does not have access to the answer and is fully making up a response, is irrelevant and distracting.
