i actually like it that copilot is better than me at solving interview questions. [VIDEO] I for one welcome our robot overlords. i wonder if they could retrain the model on BSD or MIT licensed code only; How much of the open source code is licensed as GPL vs more permissive licenses, does anyone know? Interesting that they want to charge for the use of co-pilot, I guess that we will see this business model more in the future.

It's a question of whether copilot can be "creative". I'm mit sure, but it did manage to solve some of the harder leetcode questions here [VIDEO] and I'm curious how it will fare on the later advent of code problems.

> But if there wasn't any art to these problems, then after 400+ problems wouldn't you have figured out the robotic algorithm to solve them? [VIDEO]
