Well think of how AI was trained. GitHub trained copilot on _mostly_ open source data with permissive licenses.

Giving away code and their rights for free is commonplace. Also it’s not like you can use “by Ryan Dhal” to make the output from copilot better.

But these art AI were trained on. CC, CC-BY, and closed license pieces of art. And you can use “by Greg Rotowski” to get art in that artist’s specific style.

I don’t think comparing the use of AI or the general attitude towards AI between artists and devs makes sense. Very apples and oranges.

I see the licence issue, so hypothetically, if a LLM was only trained on code that explicitely allowed LLM training, would you use that?

Hmm, is it possible to include a bit of prompt in copilot, something like “follow the formatting guidelines of the Linux kernel,” or something like that?

I dunno if it would help, but people do seem(?) to be improving their ChatGPT responses by telling it to answer as if it is an expert on a topic.

I’m sure it is, but the Linux kernel is freely available already AND it’s much less personal than directly naming someone to use their style
