In OPs examples, what about privacy/IP concerns of your existing code base? When people for example mention copilot/cursor or any other auto completion tools or just chatgpt, do you happily let the models access your existing "company internal" code? Sure, no problem when you self-host, but I assume all these use cases talk about some external API? Are you even allowed to do that in most companies? As your IP basically leaves your machine at one point?

The author here. Yes, what you're saying is 100% on point. Putting a company's code into a random chatbot online would be a horrendous violation of any company's policy out there. I'm in a fortunate position where we've had a clearly defined policy for a long time now, outlining which tools can be used and which categories of data we are allowed to use with them.
