Check out github copilot
Not free. But it's cheap paid and supposedly privatey focused.
"If you're not paying for a product, you are the product." Shame usually it's both!
Github copilot pirates other peoples code. Legally that's hard to pursue buts its enough to make me dislike them.
Oh their model is 100% taken from public repositories. I doubt they bothered to even filter it out to open source/fair use code.
My issue here is AI isn't going to replace my job, but an engineer who uses AI as a tool would replace me...
It's still Microsoft. Here's what they say about privacy anyway:
Individual
Business
I'm aware. I looked into it regarding your source code being used to train their ML. I looked over the FAQ and got the "Your code is your own." vibe. Sadly it does point to their standard Privacy statement that could change anytime and allow them to do what they want.
