Whether you love or dislike #AI for coding remains debatable, but its presence is undeniable. As a software engineer, learning and mastering AI is increasingly expected, and it might be necessary for you as well. For the past few days, I've been using #GitHub #Copilot for my personal project Léon to create pull requests, fix bugs, and implement new features, and I must admit that it worked pretty well.

It really bums me out that I keep seeing blog posts from technical people like "putting aside the obvious moral and ethical implications of LLMs, I'm interested in evaluating whether they can be useful for my work." Like "putting aside the obvious moral and ethical concerns of breaking into my neighbours' houses, I'm interested in evaluating whether this can be useful for acquiring other people's valuables."

@nikclayton Right, what should I tell my boss?
@svenjacobs are you saying you're not in a position to safely refuse unethical demands from your employer?
@nikclayton I don't think most people, including management, see the use of AI as unethical.

@svenjacobs What about you?

For example, do you think that hoovering up the world's supply of open source code, and then reproducing it unattributed in violation of the express requirements of the authors, based on the license they chose, is ethical?
