GitHub’s Copilot is Not Democratic but Big Tech is Playing Dumb

GitHub Copilot, OPT, or GPT-3 — none of them are democratic! One should remember this key point

Large language models or LLMs are fascinating to the global tech market with their instant predictions of human language and behavior. The integration of artificial intelligence algorithms and natural language processing (NLP) is transforming the next generation system and many other activities. There are multiple LLMs available in the tech world with other tech companies also focusing on generating new large language models in the nearby future. Recently, GitHub has introduced its LLM known as Copilot for all developers and coders to use efficiently and effectively. But even if Copilot is not democratic, big tech companies are unavailable for comments and playing dumb in this competitive era. Copilot is gaining popularity as one of the first-ever real LLMs with the public release. 

Language models are known for being strong fits for the entire tech- and data-driven market with immense added value and cost-efficient — so is GitHub Copilot. Copilot consists of very strong distribution channels to drive profit to a company efficiently and effectively. These language models are allowing developers to apply to specific tasks as well as putting big tech companies such as FAANG with an unfair advantage for commercializing, without being democratic.

A brief introduction to GitHub Copilot

Copilot is the first real product as one of the large language models to use the OpenAI Codex for suggesting code and providing entire functions in real-time to developers and programmers. This LLM is trained on billions of codes that can efficiently turn natural language prompting into coding suggestions across dozens of languages worldwide. Developers can spend less time on creating boilerplate as well as repetitive code patterns to build successful and seamless software. GitHub has trained Copilot to suggest relatable codes with an integrated recommendation system to implement the solution. It depends on the context and style of any project and it differs from project to project to make it easier for developers. This language model helps to decide which suggestion should be taken for consideration, rejection, as well as for edit purposes.

GitHub is focused on harnessing the benefits of artificial intelligence to write and complete coding for the creation of digital products and user-interface. Copilot is also providing suggestions code in real-time for managing bug issues, learning to use a new framework, and many more other purposes. OpenAI Codex consists of available source code and natural languages for both programming and human languages. This language model collects the URLs of repositories or file paths for identifying relevant context. LLMs are here to synthesize and suggest individual lines and functions.

Meanwhile, big tech companies are in high competition to introduce large language models or LLMs to perform multiple tasks efficiently and effectively. Working on language models has become the hottest trend among big tech companies to drive profit and be at the top in the global tech market. OpenAI with GPT-3, DeepMind with Gato AI, Meta with OPT, Microsoft-NVIDIA with Megatron-Turing, and many more and now GitHub with Copilot.

The competition between big tech companies is increasing over large language models and the point is at the level where LLMs cannot be democratized. But the global tech market is failing to understand that producing language models with transparency and openness is not the same as democratizing LLMs. It includes the cost of training, configuring, as well as running large language models to remain prohibitive. Big tech companies consist of special servers and processors to run LLMs at scale and in profitable ways. It has been speculated that this power can centralize artificial intelligence in big tech companies.

One should consider that large language models are undemocratic and always support the big tech companies for publicizing purposes in the global tech market.
