    Wow. I was just taking a break from an ethics assignment whether Copilot is ethical to use while developing code, and then I see this post.

    I believe Copilot is mostly ethical to use in development, as a tool. This is just Microsoft trying to force Copilot into a place where it wasn’t meant to be and will lead to so much wasted electricity.

    It’s like taking the MVP in Baseball and forcing him to play Tennis and expecting good results against Tennis pros. Stop shoehorning good AI tools into the wrong places that are better equipped using different tools.

      Copilot is not ethical because it allows you to use source code that is not legal to use under certain license types
