I neither see it "stealing". The neuronal network was trained with code as input. It's creating code as output. The output has nothing to do with the input once it is trained. Do people dont know how neuronal network work?

It's like saying GPT-3 created text is copyright infringement, because some author used the same sentence in a book before.

So if I fit a network to output entire chapters of a book when given the chapter number as input, I can print and sell copies of it that way?

1) Copilot is not designed to output the source code for a project source file 2) It does not re-create the whole source code, just parts of it (sentences, not chapters) 3) The source code license, e.g. BSD, works on "the code" - copying a line like "void main(void) {" will not trigger it, obviously

Overfitting: One weird trick that copyright lawyers don't want you to know!

1. Create a neural network that produces an x264+dts stream of a movie 2. distribute it 3. checkmate copyright lawyers
