- bayindirh 5mo agoIt was even returning some code verbatim with the correct prompts.
- Leynos 5mo agoIt used OpenAI's Codex model (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub_Copilot?wprov=sfla1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub_Copilot?wprov=sfla1) OpenAI did train the model on GitHub repos. The next question is whether this was enabled by Microsoft's investment in / partnership with OpenAI. I suspect yes, but I haven't gone searching for this yet.
- chrischen 5mo agoI guess it doesn't matter if they allowed OpenAI to do it or not because it seems other models were allowed to train off it too. I guess we should probably be giving kudos to GitHub and Microsoft for not trying to charge for access to this data.
