I'm gonna be honest: I don't get the outrage over Copilot. To me, it's obviously totally unobjectionable. If journalists were getting outraged that their newspaper columns were being consumed as GPT training data, we'd correctly call that silly: it's public text now, so long as you're not reproducing it verbatim and thus violating copyright, users can consume it for whatever purpose they see fit.
- rightbyte 4y agoCopilot is reproducing verbatim though.
- camgunz 4y agoIt blatantly violates many copyleft and attribution clauses in licenses. I think the objection is that it's illegal. At least, that's mine.
- fny 4y agoIt's because software developers smell the disruption. We've automated lord knows how many people out of their jobs. We're apparently not immune either. Frankly, no/low-code is more of a threat IMO, but copilot is eerie.
