My knee jerk reaction is outrage, but the more I think about it, the more I realise the only realistic audience for a tool like this is those who are learning or just not very competent yet. If I'm happy to waste my time answering people on Stack overflow, then why does it outrage me so much when a machine takes my knowledge and uses it to help beginners on my behalf? If co-pilot was a human that read the entirety of github and then helped people code for $10/month I wouldn't have any qualms, I'd probably commend them. The reality is copilot isn't capable of creating any real IP, it's just building off the very same foundations of open-source that I have also built my career off. I'm conflicted.

That said, I do believe it's outrageous there is no way to opt-out. I know that's very unpractical given the resources required to train the model, but presumably at some point it will be re-trained and there should be the ability to opt-out of future training cycles.
