Well, I just pointed out it's an ongoing debate, I didn't connect any particular value attribution to that statement.

> Suppose we add a button to a visual studio plugin called 'Copy me a function' and when you click it, it 100% grabs some random code from github and plops it as-is into your code base.

Personally, that's exactly how I see co-pilot. To my mind, it's a tool that sits in the same category as p2p platforms, copying machines or video recorders. They are just tools.

How, for what purposes and by whom they are leveraged makes all the difference here.
