> As Copilot sucks the life from open-source projects, the proximate effect will be to make Copilot ever worse—a spiraling ouroboros of garbage code.
If I was writing this website, I would delete this sentence, because it is actually really idiotic.
1. This is an opinionated statement, except that there's nothing backing this opinion. This is fearmongering, that GitHub Copilot will get worse unless we sue Microsoft.
2. Lawsuits are not about concerns about a product's creator potentially damaging their own product. Lawyers suing Microsoft don't get a "we're protecting Microsoft from Microsoft's own bad decisions!"
The argument, completely unfounded, is that GitHub Copilot will undermine... GitHub Copilot. So, if you like GitHub Copilot, you should also be on board with suing Microsoft, so that we don't damage GitHub Copilot. What??? Good luck proving that line of argument in a court - you'd get laughed out of the room. Courts don't react well to hazy predictions about mayhem, from the suing lawyers, that have no historical facts to base them on.
