Should GitHub be sued for training Copilot on GPL code?
If training Copilot was copyright infringement then essentially it&#x27;d make the majority of useful&#x2F;interesting machine learning models illegal as they currently exist, and make it impossible for anyone except huge multi-billion corporations to train such models in the future, since only they&#x27;d be able to legally license enough data to do so.<p>Models like GPT-J or DALL-E mini could not legally exist anymore. So sure, please, make this illegal, regress the whole field of machine learning 20 years back, and make it something that only billion dollar corporations can do.<p>We should be striving to make copyright less draconian, <i>not</i> more.
