The difference is that copilot constantly emits code visibly on the screen.

The difference is that copilot is memorizing and reciting code verbatim without mentioning the source.

If a human does that we call it plagiarism.

That's the same as what Copilot does.

adminazhar | karma 1 | avg karma 0.17 · | 2024-02-28 08:43:48

yeah, and with copilot more less tested code will be produced.

hk__2 | karma 6067 | avg karma 3.46 · | 2023-04-07 07:44:04

Copilot is trained on publicly available code.

Actually, no need to detect the Copilot code. Just compare the code itself, there are a bunch of tools that can do this.

it specifically says Copilot

Copilot is just synthesis of man-made code. If a lot of code is written with bad security practices, Copilot will replicate those practices.

That's beside the point, which is that the output copilot produces is useful.

Copilot NEEDs to be trained on licensed code,so that it doesn't produce them

Honest question, how is this related to CoPilot?

buzzy_hacker | karma 692 | avg karma 3.72 · | 2022-11-03 16:52:58

Copilot is not a person, it is a piece of software.

ronsor | karma 4522 | avg karma 4.09 · | 2024-05-27 06:34:21

Based on the functionality, I'd think it's the codename for "Copilot Plus" or whatever it's called now.

crazysim | karma 916 | avg karma 3.11 · | 2023-10-17 02:17:02

Might be using the Copilot chat feature.

What does this have to do with Copilot?

foobiekr | karma 5921 | avg karma 2.73 · | 2021-07-02 14:40:58+00:00

Copilot appears to be “give more efficiency leverage to the worst kind of coder.”

jefftk | karma 22506 | avg karma 4.92 · | 2022-10-17 05:58:08

In case anyone interprets this literally: if copilot regurgitates literal code it was trained on that doesn't actually give you an unencumbered version.

hnbad | karma 2716 | avg karma 1.24 · | 2022-06-21 13:15:29

But Copilot is not a programmer, Copilot is a program. Slapping the "ML" label on a program doesn't magically abdicate its programmers of all responsibility as much as tech companies over the past decade have tried to convince people otherwise.

arcturus17 | karma 3590 | avg karma 3.43 · | 2022-11-28 17:07:08

Maybe your point is lost on me but AI “copilots” are still super high-code.

reactordev | karma 6831 | avg karma 9.0 · | 2023-11-14 11:11:32

ooo, that's a good point too. In this case, wouldn't the coder be more productive if given a Copilot?
