GitHub has spent billions of dollars building an AI that struggles with things like whitespace related linting errors on one of the most mature repositories available. This would be probably okay for a hobbyist experiment, but they are selling this as a groundbreaking product that costs real money.

It's perfectly ok for a professional research experiment.

What's not ok is their insistence on selling the partial research results.
