  Interesting so some kind of mechanism at github is leading programmers that don't know how to write code and just simply lift it? I've taken lines of code from github comments and rewrote them for my own use case. If I find a tricky problem that the answer is eloquently handled in Stack Overflow I sometimes use the code and write in a comment to the share link so I know where it came from and also tells me a little about why it is there. I think zero trust in code is going to be a big problem. I have a similar concern with things like Dall-E simply lifing anyone's whole artistic life experience because people are too cheap to actually hire a real artist.
