At a certain point everything you build is on the shoulders of others. You didn’t invent the language you’re coding in, you didn’t write the libraries and frameworks you’re using.<p>What you did do is integrate them in novel ways to create a unique system that no one else has.

No, it&#x27;s code I would have written by looking things up from Stack Overflow anyway. Copilot doesn&#x27;t actually really create novel algorithms, it&#x27;s best used for boilerplate, in my experience.

Honestly, I feel like the whole thing is one big license violation. I stopped using it.<p>Cool tech but upsides weren&#x27;t even close to being worth the unethical downside quandaries.
