Well by that standard how many of us can say we learned to code without seeing anyone else’s code? And how many of us “regurgitate” copyrighted code? I don’t check my own output, and across decades of writing, odds are good I’ve produced verbatim copies of some copyrighted code.
Point being, there’s a legit conversation to be had about AI training data, but it’s not the same conversation as humans intentionally creating a derivative work. I think it’s too reductive to insist those are the same thing.
- eigenket 3y agoThe link I provided shows copilot regurgitating a 21 line function pretty much exactly. The comments are changed from //comment style to /*comment*/ style and some of the variables have been renamed, but thats about it. I can say with pretty high confidence I have never plagarised anything to that level, and I think the same is true of most human programmers.
