> The bot (and therefore microsoft) doesn't get any copyright at all. But then neither do you, for every commit that was marked with copilot.

  What makes you say that? If a monkey uses a typewriter, there's no copyright. If I use a typewriter with a monkey, I get copyright and the monkey doesn't. Why would the monkey need copyright for me to get copyright?

    > If I use a typewriter with a monkey, I get copyright and the monkey doesn't. Right, because monkeys cannot be granted copyright. If you use a typewriter along with Microsoft, the resulting copyright will be owned jointly. This story isn't about a monkey claiming co-authorship, it's about Microsoft claiming co-authorship.

      > This story isn't about a monkey claiming co-authorship, it's about Microsoft claiming co-authorship. I don't understand your position. Your previous post was agreeing that Microsoft wouldn't get copyright on copilot output, wasn't it? I said the bot doesn't get copyright and you said "neither do you". Why are you now saying Microsoft would get copyright? Copilot is a robo-monkey owned by Microsoft.
