Given that a huge percentage of code is written via JetBrains IDEs, couldn't this be a scheme on their part to gather source code training data on a similar scale as github is doing with copilot?
Yeah and has this actually been audited? Tech companies routinely lie about data collection. What's more likely, JetBrains decided that 1 year old LLMs are so foundational a technology that they needed to embed this crap irrevocably in the IDE? Or that they purposefully embedded it so that slurping up your code is hard to disentangle from diagnostics data collection?
