Interesting article. It pretty much shows that Copilot is just a dumb text-completion engine. Copilot really is just regurgitating texts that are in someone's repository (or, possibly, a combination of repositories). ChatGPT, for all its faults, produces somewhat more "intelligent" results. As far as Copilot is concerned: Can you spell "copyright violation"? The T&C on GitHub do state that you grant them the right to "parse [your content] into a search index or otherwise analyze it on our servers". It's not at all clear that this grants them the right to reproduce parts of your content (without credit) using Copilot. What about private repositories? "GitHub considers the contents of private repositories to be confidential to you." It would be interesting to see if one can get Copilot to produce code that is in a private repo.
