Copilot under fire as dev claims it emits 'large chunks of my copyrighted code'
&gt; Not so, says Alex Graveley, principal engineer at GitHub and the inventor of Copilot, who responded that “the code in question is different from the example given. Similar, but different.”<p>Oh ok so if I come upon a piece of copyrighted microsoft code all I have to do is rename the variables and modify some whitespace and it&#x27;s no longer owned by them. Lol.
