>But how will you feel if Copilot erases your open-source community?
Jesus Christ, dramatic much? Are people that stumble upon a piece of code while googling how to do something, and end up copying and pasting the code from the repo, really building the open source community? Because that's essentially what it is. Whether I use copilot to generate a tedious function, or I copy it from your open source repo I'm on the same level of being a member of your open source community.
This whole thing feels like artists screaming how AI generated art is horrible, trying to figure out how to sabotage it, or how to start lawsuits - just because their value went down just a bit. Same thing with developers.
