In case anyone interprets this literally: if copilot regurgitates literal code it was trained on that doesn't actually give you an unencumbered version.
I don't know anything about Copilot's design, but surely they passed all the code they fed it in the training stage through some pretty strict linters, right? I mean that's just common sense...
They don't give any source or anything; the way it's worded sounds ambiguous enough that I suspect it's not that 50% of their code is generated by Copilot. Is there something a bit more convincing elsewhere?
> How comes, that Copilot hasn't indicated, where the code came from?
I can't say for sure about copilot but in general you don't have that kind of information. The problem is a bit like trying to add debug symbols back to some highly optimized binary program.
