>OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, et al will STILL train such models that can do all the same things, but it will be much harder for non-industry-backed individuals to navigate the legal minefield where you must ensure you properly attribute your model outputs, only train on opt-in data, etc, etc. Surely no one really thinks that a court case against Microsoft/OpenAI (even if they lose) would stop CoPilot? I don't fucking care, I'm not in the business of competing with OpenAI or whatever. If you want to launch and AI startup but you can't that's your fucking problem, not mine. I just don't want them violating the licenses of the open-source programs I have created. > "look I prompted CoPilot for this piece of code that I already knew about and it spit it right out" (that's not how it's going to be used in practice). It proves that copilot has the capacity to copy existing code without fulfilling the requirements of the license. I don't care if it's "cherrypicked", this shouldn't happen under any circumstances. > I wish the conversations around generative AI could be...just better. I wish that these people making all these complicated language-comprehension machine-learning systems could read the fucking license statement at the top of the file and copy that license statement along with the code. this ought to be a solvable problem. I'm pretty sure i could write a bash script that does it if M$ is looking to hire.
