I’m curious how long till we figure out if these algorithms are plagiarizing OSS or other code they come across like GitHub Copilot.
It requires special tools to actually figure out if this is happening. Having seen tests with such tools the problem seems a lot worse than commonly discussed.
Inserting stolen code or using OSS code in violation of licenses is going to be a big mess. Copying snippets versus pulling in dependencies creates tons of issues. Even if you get away with violating licenses you set yourself up for security issues if the tools plagiarize code with vulnerabilities in a way that won’t get updated.
It might mean this stuff is a useful tool for someone with a clue but not for someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing.
