My problem with this conversation is how we can have a 200 comment thread without anyone providing any kind of proof to these claims. Is there any instance of this bot printing an actual copyrighted algorithm instead of a mundane uncopyrighteable piece of logic?

One of the earliest examples was Copilot printing Quake's fast inverse square root verbatim, including swearing in a comment.

Quake's source code is GPL.

There are plenty more if you're willing to look.

There are examples of it providing literal copies of code without attribution etc.

The famous “burden of proof” fallacy. In the end, I'm eager to anyone who can prove it, sue them and see the results from it.
