Cloned even?
Maybe they were open source projects?
If the license of the project isn’t being respected then this is a problem.
I’m not disagreeing, but can anyone really be surprised? IP theft is Chinese policy 101.
GitHub owner Microsoft would never engage in IP theft of source code. They leave that to OpenAI and then rebrand it as GitHub Copilot.
This is entirely different. Copilot and Chatgpt doesn't exactly reproduce the code. It's paraphrasing it. By your logic you're not allowed to implement anything as the majority of algrithms originate from scientific research and papers that also have copy-rights on them.
Training an AI on something doesn't involve copying it.
IP theft is….. less prevalent these days (or at least leas obvious)
This would be a return to the before times
