Copilot and other code-authoring LLMs are one of the biggest innovations in software engineering in recent years. I use it daily and can't imagine going back to work without it — adopting it in 2021 was the same shock of a productivity boost as when I learned vim. Yes, I know that it can occasionally break license by producing licensed code verbatim. But in my almost 2 years of using it daily I have never seen it happen first-hand, and I don't see how this licence infringement could actually do any significant damage to anyone — so while I acknowledge that this problem exist, I refuse to accept that it's as significant enough as people make it out to be. For a long time, it seemed like technical progress in computing have stopped, and now that AIs and LLMs are finally bringing exciting new technology to life, it's very sad to see exactly the people that should be excited and inspired about it — software engineers — fighting against it.
