| I think people's reaction to Copilot betrays their own shortcomings. * If you have so little care, agency and skill that using Copilot results in you generating mountains of code you don't understand, that's on you. * If you think what basically amounts to AI autocomplete will turn you into a bad programmer, then you were already a bad programmer, and that's on you. * If you think what basically amounts to AI autocomplete will replace you, then you don't provide enough value to your employer, and that's on you. * If you are angry about Copilot training on your FOSS code that's FOSS not only to people, but also to companies, machines and to the companies and people using these machines, then you publish under FOSS license without understanding what FOSS is, and that's on you. The only objective problem here is that Copilot will mix-in incompatible licenses, or even proprietary licenses in its training base, and that should be rectified. But it's in beta. So out feedback is expected and welcome, and no need for drama and vitriol. |
