GitHub Copilot is Now Available for All and Not Everyone Likes It
|
||||
======
|
||||
GitHub Copilot is here to help programmers with A.I suggestions, but could it be making it worse?
|
||||
|
||||
![github][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Back in 2021, I spent hours pouring over the GitHub Copilot docs trying to figure out how I could maximize my chances of getting into the technical preview. Fortunately, this all paid off when I was accepted into the preview.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, it is available for all to use!
|
||||
|
||||
For those of you unaware, [GitHub Copilot][2] is an AI assistant to help you write code faster and more efficiently.
|
||||
|
||||
The best comparison I can come up with is that it’s like autocomplete feature on your phone. Unlike the autocomplete feature, GitHub Copilot writes the code equivalent to complete sentences.
|
||||
|
||||
### Copilot is Now Available For The Masses
|
||||
|
||||
As I alluded to in the introduction, Copilot has been in a technical preview phase for almost a year now. This means that a very limited number of developers were allowed to use it for free, in exchange for them allowing GitHub to monitor their usage to improve the program for its final release.
|
||||
|
||||
It appears that GitHub is finally satisfied to release it to the public. Now, anyone with a GitHub account should be able to use it, albeit at a cost (which we will get to soon!).
|
||||
|
||||
The [announcement][3] mentioned:
|
||||
|
||||
> Until now, AI has stopped short of improving code, leaving the process of developing software almost completely manual. That’s changing now. Today, I am thrilled to announce that we are making [GitHub Copilot][4] generally available to individual developers. Your AI pair programmer is here.
|
||||
|
||||
[Thomas Dohmke][5]
|
||||
|
||||
Available as a free editor extension, Copilot has already helped millions of developers speed up their programming. However, it does come at a cost, both direct and indirect.
|
||||
|
||||
### GitHub Copilot Pricing
|
||||
|
||||
Copilot may be prohibitively expensive for some as with almost all exciting new technologies. It will cost you $10/month or $100/year.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are an open-source project maintainer or a verified student, you can get free access to it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Is GitHub Copilot Unethical?
|
||||
|
||||
The controversy surrounding the GitHub Copilot product is huge and concerning. Technically, the A.I have been trained using the available code on the GitHub platform.
|
||||
|
||||
So, basically, GitHub is offering a new product by using your code (take it with a pinch of salt, if you’d like). Not to forget, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) also [advised][6] against hosting code on GitHub keeping Copilot in mind.
|
||||
|
||||
While we know that businesses love to exploit things, some believed that it should not directly hurt the projects/code hosted at GitHub.
|
||||
|
||||
**But, is that the case?**
|
||||
|
||||
Briefly, after the launch, many developers shared how they found copyrighted code being generated by GitHub Copilot:
|
||||
|
||||
> Explored github copilot,a paid service, to see if it encodes code from repositories w/ restrictive licenses.I checked if it had code I had written at my previous employer that has a license allowing its use only for free games and requiring attaching the license.yeah it does [pic.twitter.com/JMbXNgOF3Z][7]
|
||||
|
||||
[June 22, 2022][8]
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, if we look at GitHub Copilot’s FAQ which mentions:
|
||||
|
||||
> GitHub does not own the suggestions GitHub Copilot generates. The code you write with GitHub Copilot’s help belongs to you, and you are responsible for it.
|
||||
|
||||
So, ultimately, you pay for a service to add inconvenience and more work to your project?
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing about it sounds exciting in terms of making a developer’s task easy, in my opinion.

GitHub Copilot 现已可供所有人使用，但并非所有人都喜欢它
|
||||
======
|
||||
GitHub Copilot 来了，它能帮助程序员提供人工智能的编码建议，不过，它是否会让事情变得更糟呢？
|
||||
|
||||
![GitHub][1]
|
||||
|
||||
在 2021 年，我曾花了好几个小时来翻阅 GitHub Copilot 文档，试图弄清楚如何能够加入它的技术预览计划。还好，这一切都得到了回报，我成功加入了预览计划。
|
||||
|
||||
而现在，它终于可供所有人使用啦！
|
||||
|
||||
如果你还不知道的话，[GitHub Copilot][2] 是一个 AI 助手，可帮助你更快、更高效地编写代码。
|
||||
|
||||
我能想到的最类似的东西，就是你手机上的（输入法的）自动完成功能。不过，与自动完成功能不同，GitHub Copilot 编写代码，就相当于是在完成整段的句子。
|
||||
|
||||
### Copilot 现已可供大众使用
|
||||
|
||||
正如我在前面提到的，Copilot 已经处于技术预览阶段将近一年了。这意味着，GitHub 只允许非常有限数量的开发者免费使用它，以换取同意 GitHub 监控他们的使用情况，从而改进程序的最终版本。
|
||||
|
||||
看起来 GitHub 终于满意地向公众发布它了嘛。现在，任何拥有 GitHub 帐户的人都应该能够使用它，尽管需要付出一定的代价（我很快就会在下面提到）。
|
||||
|
||||
[公告][3] 提到：
|
||||
|
||||
> 直到不久前，人工智能都没有能够帮助改进代码，开发软件的过程几乎完全是手动的。现在，这种情况正在改变。今天，我很高兴地宣布，我们正在向所有个人开发者提供 [GitHub Copilot][4]。你的 AI 配对程序员来啦。
|
||||
>
|
||||
> [Thomas Dohmke][5]，GitHub CEO
|
||||
|
||||
Copilot 作为免费的编辑器扩展，已经帮助数百万开发者加快了他们的编程速度。然而，它确实是有代价的，无论是直接的还是间接的。
|
||||
|
||||
### GitHub Copilot 定价
|
||||
|
||||
与几乎所有令人兴奋的新技术一样，Copilot 对某些人来说可能过于昂贵。它将花费你 10 美元/月或 100 美元/年。
|
||||
|
||||
如果你是开源项目维护者或经过验证的学生，那么你可以免费使用它。
|
||||
|
||||
### GitHub Copilot 不道德吗？
|
||||
|
||||
围绕 GitHub Copilot 产品的争议巨大且令人担忧。从技术上讲，这个人工智能是使用大家托管在 GitHub 上的代码来进行训练的。
|
||||
|
||||
因此，基本上，GitHub 是通过使用你的代码来提供一个新产品（如果你愿意的话，可以加点盐）。而且，关于 Copilot，可别忘了，自由软件基金会（FSF）也 [建议][6] 不要在 GitHub 上托管代码。
|
||||
|
||||
我们知道，企业总是喜欢利用事物，但有些人认为这应该不会直接损害托管在 GitHub 上的项目/代码。
|
||||
|
||||
**但是，是这样吗？**
|
||||
|
||||
简而言之，在 Copilot 发布后，许多开发者都分享说，他们发现 GitHub Copilot 生成了受版权保护的代码：
|
||||
|
||||
> 我试了下 GitHub Copilot，一项付费服务，来看看它是否会使用带有限制性许可证的存储库的代码。我检查了它，看看它是否有我在之前雇主那里编写的代码，该代码有一个许可证，只允许其用于免费游戏，并且需要附加许可证。是的，它确实有。
|
||||
|
||||
![图源：推特上的 Chris Green][7]
|
||||
|
||||
当然，如果我们查看 GitHub Copilot 的常见问题解答（FAQ），其中提到：
|
||||
|
||||
> GitHub 不拥有 GitHub Copilot 生成的建议。您在 GitHub Copilot 的帮助下编写的代码属于您自己，由您自己负责。
|
||||
|
||||
所以说，你为一项服务付了费，最终却为你的项目增加了不便和更多的工作？
|
||||
|
||||
在我看来，就简化开发者的任务而言，这听起来一点儿也不令人兴奋。
