> With software engineers and office work you don’t have legal limitations on who can perform the work

Technically true, but if you want the IP to be covered by copyright you better make sure they're not using AI or you'll find out that there are some serious legal limitations in your future when you aim to either pick up investment or sell your IP.

Correct. The US has already ruled that there are no IP protections for AI generated content

An unqualified statement, the user has copyright over the elements they provide. In an image if they make manual edits for example, those are protected. In a modern agentic codebase the code itself is least valuable, what counts more are the specs and tests.
