Not sure why you're bringing OpenAI into it. My comment and the article is about "Copilot"

I'm talking about when using "Github Copilot" and you ask for a code suggestion, it would send the "context" back to GitHub / Microsoft and use that code as training.

Your comment is interesting to me though because there does seem to be a surprisingly large amount of defending OpenAI going on. Almost seems automatic now.



Because Github Copilot is an interface into OpenAI Codex:

"GitHub Copilot is powered by OpenAI Codex, a new AI system created by OpenAI."

https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/overview-of-github-copilo...


> it would send the "context" back to GitHub / Microsoft

Because this is fundamentally how the system works. The context is the prompt.

> and use that code as training

This part has never been true. It’s not how these systems work. Do you have anything to back up your claim?
