The fact that your Anthropic coding assistant has a tendency to search on the Internet code to be inserted into your program may count for an additional copyright violation (besides the possibility of reproducing recognizable fragments of its training data).

(I do not agree that copyright, at least in its current form, should be applicable to computer programs, but it is weird that the same companies who try to exploit copyrights against others also insist on the use of coding assistants that are a workaround against copyright laws, which is the main reason why they can increase programming productivity, because they may cut and paste code that you are not allowed to copy yourself.)
