Of course it produces training data verbatim. Any single character is verbatim training data. Question is what are the longest strings that it can reproduce verbatim.
- leereeves 4y agoI'm not a lawyer, but I don't think "longest" is important, legally. AIUI, if you wrote a story about a character named "Harry Potter" and used nothing else from the originals, you'd still be violating copyright. Not that these names are important. I just think a lawyer might use this example to show that Copilot is copying (without anyone's eyes glazing over), then show some complex code and argue that the code was both copied and important. The first makes the second easier to understand and accept.
