    With Copilot, your private code isn't just yours anymore—it's a community treasure!

    Copilot is a code completion, and authoring for developers.

    It’s not a presenting a copy of trained material, rather generating new content based on what it has learned in the context of the problem / query discussed in the prompt.

    Repositories available (complete copy) sounds more like a search engine cache, which is mentioned in the middle of the article (Bing).

    So, is it Bing, the search engine or the AI model?

    Perhaps I am missing the core here, but at the moment it seems like a Bing story dressed as AI story for traffic (arstechnica) and fame (lasso).

    Flagged yesterday already. Still a non-story today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43183333
