Github copilot is a massive fucking scam

Turns out, we have been fed with an illusion that the AI are capable of writing code. Even I fell for it

It takes 2-3 lines at a time from other code that’s freely available online. Don’t act like when you do the same thing it’s somehow less of a copyright violation

Not to mention I only use it for boilerplate shit and figuring out what parameters to pass an API so I don’t have to read documentation. I wouldn’t use it for the fast inverse square root

fosscucks will never be happy

That's not how open source license works my guy. Open source is like photography, just because you are free to use, that doesn't mean you are free to not attribute and legally pay the original artist

I worked on an AI project. It was a million burnt on nothing to put it nicely.

After seeing that shitfest firsthand I got less afraid of any form of automation replacing me.

>that doesn't mean you are free to not attribute
fosscucks unironically don't know what fair use is
>legally pay the original artist
fucked loled m8 you gave up all payment when you made it foss

Copying code to sell a product sure as hell isn't fair use.

>fosscucks unironically don't know what fair use is
I already fucking know what fair use is. There is a fatal mistake in your argument, this fucking shit known as github copilot is a commercial product.
Fair use clearly stated that any products that use fair use license is free as long as it is used for non-commercial use which means that even if an open source repository hypothetically uses an open source license similar to fair use license, it will still count as violation
>fucked loled m8 you gave up all payment when you made it foss
Please tell me you are stup by only showing your idiotic behavior

*stupid

yeah it fucking is
if you want royalty payments then don't use a foss license
>fair use license is free as long as it is used for non-commercial use
extremely wrong
>Please tell me you are stup by only showing your idiotic behavior
show any foss license that requires payment

>if you want royalty payments then don't use a foss license
I don't want monetary payment. I want you to pay respect to my work by mentioning me as the rightful copyright holder, and I want my software to remain FOSS, which is why my license disallows you from integrating it into proprietary software.

>Turns out
>didn't jump when MS bought it
cuck

that has nothing to do with copilot

Just like your entire fair use argument.

Haven't there been instances of people's private proprietary repo code showing up in Copilot suggestions?

wrong

>steal code from foss licensed projects without the resulting code being foss too and attributed to the original author
>has nothing to do with copilot
Yeah, it does, everything wrong here has to do with copilot.
A real business takes care of not using GPL and co licensed things on their code because it's illegal, what's so different from copilot using GPL licensed code in closed source products?
They're committing a crime and think they will get away because the foss community doesn't have the financial power to sue a trillion dollar company.

>steal
it's foss, there's no such thing as "stealing it", you gave it away for free
>without the resulting code being foss too and attributed to the original author
allowed by fair use
>everything wrong here has to do with copilot.
there's nothing wrong here
>what's so different from copilot using GPL licensed code in closed source products?
that has nothing to do with copilot and everything to do with the user of copilot
>They're committing a crime
lol no, amazing how quickly the "freedom" crowd tries to wield the boot for their own purposes
>because the foss community doesn't have the financial power to sue a trillion dollar company.
the foss community won't do it because you know you have no case

FOSS has *always* been about turning copyright against those who disproportionately benefit from it.

I'm so glad humans don't do this for a living.
Ready for a y2k part 2 if stacks ever goes down

no it hasn't, foss shits are a lot more likely to attack each other for supposed gpl violations

The ai part of it is reading comments, variable names, method names to determine which code to steel, then rename the variables to match what you already have in the style you are using.

Does Copilot actually right anything or is it just a copy and paste bot?
