Who cares?

The people who actually spent the time writing the code and documenting it, remember these LLM’s have to learn from somewhere.

A lot of repositories use the GPL license.

The GNU General Public Licenses are a series of widely used free software licenses. The GPL is a copyleft license, which means that it guarantees end users the freedom to run, study, share, or modify the software, but if you distribute a derivative work or modification, you must provide the source code to those recipients under the same or equivalent license terms — there is no requirement to publish anything to the public at large.

I doubt many LLM’s are sighting their sources or giving proper credit when they spit out code snippets.

I learned writing code for free, by looking at other code and reading online manuals.

I also learned how to play the piano by listening to people playing it and getting online sheet music for free.

I guess I am a baddie now.

Do you have a bot army that scrapes websites and repositories? Do you not give credit when credit is due? Do you poorly plagiarize work and claim it to be your own?

While I appreciate the learning aspect, the abuse of these LLM’s is blatantly clear.
