> it threatens to disrupt one of the biggest technological progressions of all time.

Chill dude, all they have to do is include the licenses on their generated code.

If anything, this is going to generate even more progress. The copilot team would have to create some kind of feature that would connect the generated output the the relevant training data. That'd be pretty incredible to see in the field of AI/ML in general.

If they can actually link output to specific input, the lawsuit has merit and more, GPT-3 is a lie. A neural network is supposed to learn how things work, not memorize a large number of examples and spit them out verbatim - or keep connections to specific inputs.

Copilot losing the lawsuit is evidence it’s a case of overfitting, not true ML.

Mind you, not all outputs are the result of over fitting.

They already have that feature and you can turn it on

Ah great, then it should be on and with no way to disable it.

Of course, end user could just strip the license/attribution off their generated output, but that's a different story.
