This is the allure of AI, and this is also why OpenAI chose Micro$oft, the flame extinguisher par excellence. They have struck gold, they can now monopolize the very act of writing software, nevermind if it was based on a bait-and-switch and trained on code that wasn't legally open for usage in this manner. Pretty soon, this will lead to microsoft using their black box defense to make copycats of every service possible for their own windows platform, and then put it all around a paywall.

This is 100% my concern too, no wonder it's good at coding when it it's spitting everything you make straight back at you.

I'm not sure how to mitigate this yet? I'd say step one would be to get off GitHub, keep your innovative solutions evolving so they start to lose track of your work (if possible) and wait until open source alternatives are good enough to use.
