The difference is the lack of clarity around copyright. I don’t expect a declaration to resolve that, but I do think it would benefit us greatly later on when retrospective resolution is desired and achievable.
The AI copyright question is so unresolved that I see little reason to believe it would make much difference. I can easily imagine that different LLMs will end up in different legal situations depending on how much training material they emit, and what settlements the various LLMs make with the LLM companies. So "I used an LLM to write 30% of this" doesn't help if it turns out that it depends on which LLM it was.
Also, practically, if people make unauthorized derivative works, how much does the IETF plan to spend trying to make them stop? When I was on the trust the most we did was to write polite letters saying please don't do that.
