A big reason copilot spread so fast is because people already trust GitHub with their code - enabling AI doesn't really modify risk. If GH wanted to break TOS and train on your code they could, even without copilot, if you're using GH for private repos.
Any other third party needs to get vetted/trusted - I would be the first to doubt an AI startup.
- kamaal 2y agoAs more and more people use co-pilot or even cursor, there is likely to be a mad increase in productivity. But also note, there is likely to be a situation like the early days of internet where people write lots of code, but also bug ridden and unreadable code. It will take a few years for things to return to routine.
