Interesting legal question: if Claude reverse engineers the original and writes a spec, and ChatGPT implements the spec without seeing the original, is that a clean-room implementation? Asking for a friend with a trillion parameters

It was illegal not to work in the Soviet Union. There was even a name for such people who weren't officially employed -
"tuneyadets".
