Microsoft should just train it on all their proprietary code instead. See how sanguine they are about it then.

who said they haven't.

for something to show up verbatim in the output of a textual AI model it needs to be an input many times.

I wonder if the problem is not copilot, but many people using this person's code without license or credit, and copilot being trained on those pieces of code as well. copilot may just be exposing a problem rather than creating one.

I don't know much about AI, and I don't use copilot.

Microsoft have a public statement that they don't use proprietary code, only public code with public licenses. They have a lot of companies as customers who uses github, and they also use a lot third-party code in their own products.
