Should GitHub be sued for training Copilot on GPL code?
Imagine a situation where a chat bot AI is trained on a bunch of copywritted novels. And then you ask it to start reciting portions of it. Should that be illegal? It doesn’t seem like it to me.<p>If I were to turn around and resell it, then you could sue me; but that wouldn’t be a chat bot’s fault.<p>Just like it’s not the clipboard’s responsibility to ensure I’m not violating licenses, I don’t think it’s copilot’s responsibility either. Use it at your own risk.
