fucking hell are we only now having this discussion? when GitHub Copilot first released, a few years ago, my first reaction was: that's a keylogger! it sends everything in your editor to Microsoft, isn't anyone worried about that at all?
No, no one was. I despair
"Keylogger" and "spyware" have become so normalized that they have disappeared from the public lexicon.
With apologies,
