That's a general problem I often run into with simulations. When you get it in the opposite direction it can have some very amusing results (e.g. energy in a physical system continues to increase).
They explain why this happens in the article.

Surely it's at least understandable why the author could be feeling a bit sad about it?
When you made something public domain pre-LLMs, you generally could expect people to give kudos to you.
With LLMs, if you make something public and an LLM gobbles it up, not only you get zero credit but you also can’t convincingly claim to have come up with it (since anyone can just assume you used an LLM), and neither can anyone else (even if they have come up with it fully independently).
If you don’t seek any recognition for your original work, then that’s fine, but I suspect you might be in a minority.
Now everyone can create everything, and the source is shared. You are adding to the pile of human knowledge and it gets processesed, that's it.
If you step aside and think about it from a holistic perspective, imagine a research project to find a cure for cancer, or the best compression algorithm, or whatever.
Who will find the solution faster:
1) Entities work in isolation, produce their results, gets attribution, and then it's integrated into other work.
2) Entities work in parallel, dumping their findings and work into a big pile that is continuously parsed and built upon.
The second approach does not discriminate partial or bad results, it does not place value on a specific contribution. It might be that two entities did partial solutions that only make sense together, and this is able to be synthesized on the fly.
Using connectedness and unity to defend the fragmentation of the social bond is ironic, to say the least.
Historically, like little children who find it hard to find intrinsic self-encouragement and value, many people needed to have a pat on their back for their work "hey good job buddy you made it first".
If you still need this, its okay, we all grow up some day and start making things for the sakes of it (giving back to the community, etc), but this is not something inherent to the human but is rather a learned ego-seeking.
Cat is out of the bag my dude, you can't stop this, adapt.
Show some empathy, the world is far from connected and united.
