It's good for developers, but it has to be taken carefully:
<https://addyo.substack.com/p/the-70-problem-hard-truths-about>

It's not something I wrote, but it's something I came to the same
conclusion.

Why? The only reason I never used ChatGPT is because it asked me for an
account. And I don't want to give any personal information to an
unknown company. I never give personal information here (at least I
control the information I give). It's the reason you know nothing (or
almost nothing) about me. And it's the reason any time LP/NV/FR/whatever
switches the subject from his claims to me, I refuse to speak about it.

And don't think the reason you don't know more about me is because you
don't speak French. In the documents linked in my signature, you'll know
I'm living in Paris and I like to travel on my bike. Nothing more. You
can find out I have some friends or family in some cities, and find some
first names, but it'll be really difficult to identify someone. The most
information I gave is a street name in a city which have two streets
with the same name (or almost).

It's funny because I give my real name, but there is so many people with
the same name that it's like I'm anonymous. And if you see something
about someone with the same name, you'll never know if it's me or an
homonym. My email gives a little bit more information, but only to know
more precisely where I'm living.

I refuse to give Microsoft any personal information about me, but if I
already gave them personal information to have Windows, why should I be
concerned about copilot?

I'm not saying copilot is good: it takes open source code to make it
proprietary code. Which is something like evil. But the issue is not
between using it at home or using it on Microsoft website. The issue is
about using it. So, if I hate it, I don't understand the issue about
using it on github and not on your personal computer.
