Copilot often feels like an automation of clean room reimplementation of protected materials.
- mort96 2y agoExcept it's the furthest from clean room you can get? It's feeding the original copyrighted materials through a machine and getting equivalent but (usually) distinct material out. It's not like it's only reading documentation and an interface specification and producing an implementation based on that.
- vrighter 2y agoa clean room implementation means that the person writing the code does not have acess to the code they're trying to replicate. Even when the source is available, it is looked at by people, who write requirements based on what they observed in the code. After that, they are considered compromised, and are banned from ever touching the code of the re-implementation.
