And those tools will be similarly illegal if the court strikes down Copilot. Also it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to train things like Copilot and GPT-3, so can we really rely on innovation happening in open source without any way to recoup costs? I get that you might not like OpenAI/Copilot for creating these tools in the way that they did, but surely you have to see that this decision goes WAY beyond what you blithely call a "shady cash grab".
- mattstir 4y agoYou seem to completely miss the point about using data which was freely given. I would say that most of us like the idea of Copilot what OpenAI is accomplishing. The main issue stems from violating licenses which require attribution etc. As the article noted, one can get around attribution by getting express permission from the copyright holder (or by not using their work at all). The fact of the matter is that some companies have made a paid service by violating the copyright of individuals. That's fundamentally not okay.

- esperent 4y agoThis field is moving so fast that copilot is already way behind state of the art. New tools, even with more limited data sets, are going to be more powerful, not less powerful.
