I see lots of anti GitHub (really Microsoft) sentiment here, but doesn’t a ruling against GitHub have massive implications for any “all powerful ML trained AI model” period?

Like, we’re all swooning about ChatGPT, but how can chatGPT be legal if this isn’t? I literally can ask it “write me a song about cryptocurrency in the style of Taylor swift” and it will. It can’t do that it it didn’t train with Taylor Swift song lyrics.

Doesn’t this kill chatGPT? Doesn’t this law suit potentially kill lots of training models?




It very much depends on the exact ruling. Judges usually don't like to make rulings broader than they need to be, so it may well be something decided on a technicality. Or the ruling may rely on some particular property of the Copilot model that does not apply to ChatGPT.


Good riddance.
