When AI becomes Pierre Menard, author of your code
The model refuses to reproduce a paragraph from a textbook (0.15% overlap). But it'll autocomplete entire source files (53% overlap) 📖🔓

@adafruit I think this is the reason I'm uncomfortable about LLMs. I'd also rather do my own writing of both novels and software, because I enjoy the process. That's just my personal opinion, of course, and I have no objection to others using AI in whatever legal manner they like. Personally, I'm using AI to do things I couldn't do before (due to lack of funds or talent), like making audiobooks out of my novels, by cloning voices from LibriVox.org. I love AI text to speech engines!
