This is the issue, it's not finding patterns as people do.
If I read someone's code, book, &c, that's extremely lossy. I can only pick up a few things from it in the long term.
But an ML model can store most of what it's given (in a jumbled format) and can do it from billions of sources.
It's essentially corporate piracy, but it's not legally recognized as such because it doesn't store identical reproductions.
This hasn't been an issue before because it's recent and wasn't considered valuable. But now that it's valuable and Microsoft is going to take all our jobs we have to at least consider if it's okay if Microsoft can take our work for free.
