It might also become worse. It seems to me that GitHub has opened themselves (well, this Copilot thing anyway) up to a form of DoS attack: Just imagine what might happen if a bunch of people opened up a number of public repos filled with utter crap?

Not suggesting anything, here, just musing on a possibility.




Well, that's a solvable problem. You just need a classifier to filter good code from bad. I would imagine they're already using analytics on the popularity/usage of the repos to weight the training data.


LOL - I'm not sure about many humans' ability to tell good code from bad, given how prolifically they produce "bad" code.
