Thank you, I am aware it was trained on those repositories. I am not OK with this business model.

But my comment still stands. You can turn off the verbatim copying feature that people keep talking about and the "AI model" will generate code based on your own codebase.

When I'm using it with Unity or a JS project that has NPM modules, does it use those as context to fill in some code as well? No clue.

Was it trained on open source code and is that ethically and legally shady? Yes.

Is it copying verbatim at this point? No.

Does it help me be a better programmer and will I pay for it? No and only if I forget to cancel my trial subscription.
