They cannot possibly assure customers that remote devs aren't using copilots to help them code.

Generative AI is a technology that can create pictures, movies, audio (music or voice action) and writing using artificial intelligence

By their definition of Gen AI, it's unclear to me if the label says anything about code. I'm not sure I would consider it "writing."

This might be a little off-topic, but I've noticed what seems to be a trend of anti-AI discourse ignoring programmers. Protect artists, writers, animators, actors, voice-actors... programmers, who? No idea if it's because they're partly to blame, or people are simply unaware code is also stolen by AI companies—still waiting on that GitHub Copilot lawsuit—but the end result appears to be a general lack of care about GenAI in coding.

I think it's because most programmers use and appreciate the tool. This might change once programmers start to blame gen AI for not having a job anymore.

There remains a significant enclave that rejects it, but yeah, it's definitely smaller than equivalent groups in other mentioned professions. Hopefully things won't get that far. I think the tech is amazing, but it's an immense shame that so many of my/our peers don't give a flying fuck about ethics.

Reporting in.

Yup. Very much agreed here. There are some uses that are acceptable but it's a but hard to say that any are ethical due to the ethically bankrupt foundations of its training data.

Indie studio teams are pretty small so its possible, I personally hate that the word copilot ever even appears and never ever autogen code, but moreso I'm sure the stamp refers to art, texture, and sound.
