I'm just thinking out loud here, so don't expect a well articulated argument here: If you don't condone the massive license breaches AI code assistants are built upon, shouldn't this mean for yourself that you don't use them, regardless of any official court rulings?

@ivanhoe That is my position, yes.

In addition to the ethical reasons there are pragmatic reasons:

1. AI goes "insane" when fed its own output. This is inevitable with code gen.

2. I've tried a few sysadmin questions - and the answers would cause massive data loss if actually followed. (To be fair, they *did* jog my memory and speed my task.)
