> The DCO requires that the contribution be “created by me,” yet in many jurisdictions AI-generated code is not recognized as a copyright-protected work.

I get that, but what are the particular examples of such jurisdictions? For example, when I run the linter that fixes my code formatting, no one will think that I did not create it. What about autogenerated code? Is it not copyright-protected?

This argument sounds like someone who was caught cheating and is trying to come up with weird excuses.

"We agreed to never cheat, but I saw you texting a friend, therefore I can now have sex with anyone I want"

It's lame.
