What's true and what's not true is not related to what you personally believe.
It is factually and unambiguously false to state that generated code is, in general, not similar to other code from the corpus it is trained on.
> And none of it appears anywhere else; I've checked.
^ Even if this statement, is not false (I'm skeptical, but whatever), in general, it would be false for most users of copilot.
None of it appears anywhere else? None of it? Really?
That's not true of the no-AI code base I'm working on.
That's very difficult to believe it would be true on a code base heavily written by copilot and the like.
It's probably not true, in general, for AI generated code bases.
We can have a different conversation about verbatim copied code, where an AI model generates a large body of verbatim copy from a training source. That's very unusual.
...but to say the generated code wouldn't even be similar? Come on.
That's literally what LLMs do.
