Generative AI: Difference between revisions
Apply some form of tone fixes (hopefully it's better) unsure if it's just github or all applications that run Copilot like Word, notepad etc... something for future notice |
I fixed the tone! |

====<big> | ====<big>StackOverflow - Overflow AI training data based on user generated content</big>==== | ||
In | In Late July, 2023, [[Overflow AI]] was released by [[StackOverflow]]. The content used to train this AI was built off of questions and answers left by the StackOverflow community.<ref>{{Cite news |last=StackOverflow |date=Jul 27, 2023 |title=Announcing OverflowAI |url=https://stackoverflow.blog/2023/07/27/announcing-overflowai/ |access-date=Mar 30, 2025 |work=StackOverflow blog}}</ref> This action essentially subverts an existing policy from [[StackOverflow]], where users cannot generate AI responses for answers.<ref>{{Cite web |last=StackOverflow |title=Generative AI Policy |url=https://stackoverflow.com/help/gen-ai-policy |access-date=Mar 30, 2025 |website=StackOverflow help center}}</ref> The only way users currently have the capability of not having their content scraped for Overflow AI is to manually delete all posts and topics before deleting your account, however the effectiveness is questionable considering their [[Get Out Clause]],<ref>{{Cite web |last=StackOverflow |title=How do I delete all my contributions? |url=https://stackoverflow.com/help/delete-content |access-date=Mar 30, 2025 |website=StackOverflow help center}}</ref> which allows them to retrieve content that was deleted. | ||
=== | ===Microsoft - GitHub CoPilot trained on free user repositories=== | ||
Labeled on the FAQ for [[GitHub CoPilot]],<ref>{{Cite web |last=CoPilot |title=FAQ |url=https://copilot.github.trust.page/faq?s=v2qe7voltpwtv2usl4ikhs#ip-and-open-source |access-date=Mar 30, 2025 |website=github}}</ref> users who pay for either a ''Pro'' or ''Enterprise'' tier plan do not have their repositories (''repos'') scanned for the purposes of training CoPilot. This can be considered a form of [[racketeering]], as consumers are forced into paying if they wish to not have their content be indirectly profited off of by [[Microsoft: Family 365 subscripcion forced upsell|Microsoft]]. There are theories that private repos may not be used for training purposes,{{Citation needed}}<!-- Mentioned in previous version of this section --> but it is unable to be verified at this time. Users on this platform have shown some backlash since this has eroded trust in [[GitHub]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dlindmark |date=Feb 23, 2025 |title=Does GitHub Copilot use any code from individual users to train GitHub's model (or any successor model)? #152229 |url=https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/152229 |access-date=Mar 30, 2025 |website=GitHub}}</ref><!-- Possibly move this topic into a main page as forms of racketeering is pretty serious --> | |||
