Saying an auto complete of a line of code is "using their work" is a massive stretch.

When it's demonstrated that it can generate whole function bodies intact (fast inverse square root debacle), and autocomplete it with a wrong license, it's not a stretch anymore.

It isn't autocompleting "a line of code", it completes whole function bodies.
