    No, it isn’t.

    “Basically” your vibes aren’t an actual answer. Businesses are not forking over millions to give away their code.

    You can have conspiracy theories about it using the code anyway (I’m particularly confused about your use of the word “scrape” which tells me you don’t know how AI training works, how hosting a website works, or how scraping works - maybe all three?) but surreptitiously using its competitors’ code to train CoPilot would be a rare existential threat to Microsoft itself.

    Does GitHub use Copilot Business or Enterprise data to train GitHub’s model?

    No. GitHub does not use either Copilot Business or Enterprise data to train its models.

      Just to add to what the other commenters said, the quote you highlighted doesn’t even say what you think it does.

      It says that Copilot data is not used to train the models, not that code uploaded to Github isn’t used to train the models.

      As an aside, your nitpicking of the term “scrape” and rant about how the user you’re replying to must be ignorant is cringe, jsyk.

        It’s in every enterprise and business contract signed with them. The FAQ was just the first result on Google. Its obviousness shouldn’t even require that much. It’s extremely clear how few of Lemmy’s “technology” crowd have any contact with adult life.

          Why are you referring all your answers to GitHub Enterprise and corporate contracts? Nobody here is talking about that, as the news is about an open source project. Public GitHub and GitHub Enterprise are fundamentally different.

          You accuse others of responding based solely on “vibes,” but you do exactly the same thing in the opposite direction. And yet, of all people, you’re saying we don’t act like adults.

            All of the responses are saying that Github reads all code. Github public and Github enterprise are products of the same organisation. Many are even saying they will consume enterprise data anyway despite contracts not to. As I said in my first response, there aren’t many things that would ruin Microsoft’s ability to operate but this is one.

            What vibes do you think I’m going off?

      If you’re gullible enough to believe an FAQ coming from Github themselves, then I have bad news for you.

        “Gullible” is not a thing you can be when somehow has signed a contract with you… that’s why contracts exist.

        You aren’t paying enterprise subscriptions to use Facebook, and as bad as they are, Microsoft are not Meta.
