       RT @DocSparse@twitter.com@github@twitter.com copilot, with "public code" blocked, emits large chunks of my  copyrighted code, with no attribution, no LGPL license.  For example, the simple prompt "sparse matrix transpose, cs_" produces my cs_transpose in CSparse. My code on left, github on right. Not OK.🐦🔗: https://twitter.com/DocSparse/status/1581461734665367554

       This is how text generators are structured. The whole narrative of it having "learned" is bogus. It repeats what fits given what it saw. You can get most of these systems to just parrot quite specific things.It's not a bug, it's the structure.

       And that is bad. (I am not even a big copyright guy.) This can also produce insecure and dangerous code (so many completions contain SQL injection potentials etc.)
