there are severe technical, legal and ethical issues with using LLMs for code generation, an excerpt: - LLMs are very good at generating text/code that *looks* plausible/correct, but that is not necessarily correct. Therefore, it is often more difficult to verify that code generated by an LLM is not subtly broken than it is to write similar code yourself. *PLEASE* do not underestimate this issue. - LLMs are trained on any publicly readable code with no regard to the law, the license terms of the code, and the intentions of the author(s). This is highly unethical in my opinion - LLMs are known to sometimes produce one-to-one (or very close) copies of some of the data they've been trained on. Thus, you may end up copying other people's code word for word without being aware, this can open you up to legal issues since this is almost always a copyright violation - LLMs may also produce code that is a "mix" of two pieces of code it was trained on. This is even more difficult to recognize than a one-to-one copy, and incorporating it into your code may still be a copyright violation These are just a few examples, there are many more issues with using LLMs for code generation. Therefore, I strongly recommend against using LLMs for code generation or modification Kind regards, pinoaffe _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
