Who should be sued? Microsoft who produces an application known as "Copilot" which itself contains nobody else's code but Microsoft's? OR the person who USES Copilot, to produce code which contains somebody else's copyrighted code?
Using Copilot is a bit like using a shotgun, can be very illegal depending on what you shoot at. Creating and distributing the app Copilot is like creating and selling a shotgun.

- account42 4y agoMicrosoft produces a service known as "Copilot" which does contain other people's code. That the Copilot network contains other peoples code is not in question since it has been demonstrated to output other people's code and Microsoft even added (very limited) filters to detect if it ooutputs other people's code.
