idk what you guys mean but GitHub copilot still works absolutely well, the suggestions are fast and precise, with little Tweeks here and there... and gpt4 with code interpreter are absolute game changers ... idk about basic chatgpt 3.5 turbo though
Github Copilot is a bit different, it’s powered by OpenAI Codex which is trained on all public repos. And yes, it’s quite effective!
Public GPL or public MIT? So there's a chance of you adding GPL code to your private repository and having a very messy licensing?
My understanding is that it’s all publicly viewable code on Github regardless of licence. The legality of the training data and usage is hotly debated. Although you can get it to generate entire code blocks, my use and where I find it effective is finishing lines of code based on context of what I’m writing, so it’s “filling in the blanks” around my code so to say.
It is not because tone can see that one can use it.
Open source does not mean "free to repurpose"
