The discussion centers around copyright for now, but it seems those code-generating (and art-generating) AIs are just starting out and have a lot of room to grow. If future versions are just magical, our current ideas of programming will be obsolete, regardless copyright considerations. Maybe we are a little too short sighted and defensive while facing our industrial revolution in the form of the AI revolution, which is coming for our jobs, or at least for the way we are used to do our jobs. Those pesky copyright violations could be manually 'fixed', or, Microsoft could go and prove with their data that programmers are all just reinventing the wheel and are actually reimplementing the most basic stuff over and over. Meanwhile, they might be correlating live data from Azure and git histories from many projects, and have Copilot refactor your project based on load. Unthinkable?
