When I first read about the new copilot tool I immediately thought it would just be a matter of time before some group started poisoning the AI. Garbage in, garbage out right?
So now we know its ALL public repos ... how long until all the opponents of this tool have a giant repo full of syntactically correct code that employs terrible design patterns and is thoroughly obfuscated? I'm not going to waste my time on this personally but there are certainly those who will. Someone will invent a tool that perverts perfectly good code in the process and probably have a good laugh.
Personally, while I recognize some people might find it useful, I don't much care for it. No, I haven't tried it yet either. Ive never sampled escargot either and I know I don't care for it all the same. Maybe it's wonderful, I'll never know - but I do know that I simply don't like the idea of it. Call it an objection on General Principal if you like.
So remember kids, If you're not PAYING then you are the product.
Bottom line - private repos are cheap and you should use them rather than freebie public stuff.
