Companies make money using open source code and ignore the licenses which compel them to release their source code (due to ignorance, laziness or selfish gains). While AI generated code cannot be copyrighted then you cannot apply copyleft licenses to that code. Telling human-authored code from AI slop may be difficult or impossible - that could make it more difficult to enforce copyleft compliance in a lawsuit.
