Open source has trained me and countless others. We have learned from it. Why shouldn’t machines learn from it too? Is co-pilot copy-pasting slabs of code verbatim?
I see Copilot as a net positive. Open source is for sharing and learning. Copilot is sharing and learning on steroids.
- batmanturkey 4y agoYes, copilot IS copying code verbatim from GitHub hosted repos, right now. The license and attribution are stripped from regurgitated copied code snippets. Verbatim with no context, no attribution, no citation, no reference to the project it’s part of… If the people don’t known which project the code was taken from, how can they one day contribute to that codebase? Copilot is an interloper who doesn’t even tell you which project the code snippet was ripped off from!!
