I am not inherently against "AI" tools.
I just want the techbros making them to understand "consent".
As it stands now, something like GitHub Copilot is the single largest attack on open source, and the biggest case of copyright and license infringement in history. Copilot is designed to remove any and all license restrictions from open source code, so it can be reused by proprietary developers without having to respect licensing terms.
Like I always say - if Copilot is not copyright and license infringement, why doesn't Microsoft train it on its own proprietary code?
Exactly.
