Copilot is a great idea, but has been executed in a very exploitative way. Terms of Service allows your public repos to be used to improve GitHub products, but I would say there’s clear evidence that copilot is generating derivative works and essentially redistributing code under incompatible licenses to the users of copilot. Microsoft is taking hard work, and leveraging it to create a product they solely profit from. Public code does not equal take my code and sell it through the obfuscation of a trained AI in order to generate derivative works and resell it under an incompatible licensing scheme.
It’s heart breaking to see our IP being taken advantage of in this way. Yeh it’s unfortunate they are taking advantage of the tiny percent of dedicated programmers who contribute to open source projects, whom for the vast majority do not make any revenue or anywhere close to what their hours would be worth in a paid position. This is the first blog post in a series about AI in Visual Studio, so stay tuned for more about GitHub Copilot and IntelliCode and how they can improve your coding and team productivity. Copilot is free for GitHub verified students and maintainers of popular open-source projects. To get started with GitHub Copilot, make sure you are on version 17.4 or later of Visual Studio 2022. IntelliCode and Copilot complement each other and use lots of the same underlying AI/ML technology and APIs. Together with the built-in AI in Visual Studio called IntelliCode, your AI programming partners elevate your coding to the next level. It contains a lot of fixes, tweaks, and other improvements. In Visual Studio, Copilot acts as a pair-programmer making it more joyous to code – and increases your productivity at the same time.Īnd an updated version of Copilot for Visual Studio was just released. Trained on billions of lines of public code, GitHub Copilot turns natural language prompts including comments and method names into coding suggestions across dozens of languages. GitHub Copilot uses OpenAI Codex to suggest code and entire functions in real-time right from your editor.
