Sad to see people trying to make copilot illegal
Using it is exactly like using Google. Google scrapes the internet and trains a model that gives you results for search queries on their website. The results may be copyright protected
Copilot scraped the internet to train a model that gives you results for code snippets in your code editor. The results may be copyright protected
- HarHarVeryFunny 4y agoSurely the difference is that if you find something via Google/search you can then read any copyright notice to determine whether the code is OK to use for your use case (no joke if you're a corporate developer). If you're using Copilot to "generate" (but sometimes regurgitate?) code then AFAIK Copilot doesn't show you the copyright notices or any indication of whether what it is giving you is a "fair use" derivative or a copyright violation exact copy regurgitation.
