No. We follow responsible practices in accordance with our Privacy Statement to ensure that your code snippets will not be used as suggested code for other users of GitHub Copilot.
As a bad Python scripter, I’m stuck using Microsoft’s AI because there isn’t a privacy-focused alternative anywhere near as good.
Don’t overuse AI, there is plenty of resources on the web and at least you can practice reading docs. Use Phind. https://www.phind.com/privacy

Github copilot pirates other peoples code. Legally that’s hard to pursue buts its enough to make me dislike them.
Oh their model is 100% taken from public repositories. I doubt they bothered to even filter it out to open source/fair use code.
My issue here is AI isn’t going to replace my job, but an engineer who uses AI as a tool would replace me…
