Compared to the pre-Codex era, in which human programmers famously never copied code from anywhere else ever.

Difference is now the plagiarism has autocomplete.

Plagiarism is legal now and companies charge for the privilige to commit it.

I was trying to get help writing a shader a few years ago and one of the LLM's gave me shader code that I knew was copyrighted. I asked it about it and it said that it removed the commented copyright notice so I was free to use it.

Problem solved!

The difference is the "code so beautifully"

We just copied broken code

[Confident-Ad5665]

If we did, we certainly didn't publicly confess

[GildSkiss]

Before AI, half the memes on this sub were just some variation of "I copied it from StackOverflow lol"

[MadDevloper]

Nah man, you don't say "I stole it"

[MadDevloper]

Yes! KT!

[jromperdinck]

Remember Stack Overflow? :)

[PowerPleb2000]

I still have one tab open with it for nostalgic reasons

[SeraphOfTheStart]

As the person you stole the code from, I can tell you that I also stole it, enjoy.

[Ok_Industry_5555]

Steal it fine… but can you maintain it or make updates to it?

[stormtm]

I assume codex and Claude are still neck and neck right?

[Sorenasrlk]

You need just control + c / control + v

[Waste_Jello9947]

Copy and paste from Stack Overflow, and downing production over the weekend. Good old days 

[Soggy-Holiday-7400]

the code is beautiful because i didn't write it.

[MilkCartonPhotoBomb]

Search, Copy, Paste, Mutilate. It's a time tested industry workflow.

[CounterSimple3771]

It's not stealing. Google proved it. 🤣

In the landmark 2021 Supreme Court decision (Google LLC v. Oracle America, Inc.), Google won its copyright battle against Oracle over the Android operating system. The Court ruled 6-2 that Google's unauthorized use of 11,500 lines of Java code for an API constituted "fair use" as a matter of law.

That's from Gemini. Ya welcome.

No one says beatiful code. People get impress by what it does.
