And to the assertion that Copilot emits copyrighted code - this is in nobody's best interest, not the authors, Microsoft, or Microsoft's customers. Microsoft had to promise to legally defend any of its customers that are sued for using code that came from Copilot (https://www.legal.io/articles/5443653/Microsoft-Will-Pay-for...). I've used Copilot in a business setting and sometimes it will cancel a response because it detects that it contained copyrighted material. So Microsoft appears to be trying its best to avoid the main problem the article is concerned about, and they are confident enough that they are succeeding to make legal guarantees.
