Until they change it to „CoauthorAI” in next version. This shouldn’t be a default in the first place
What are you using LLMs for? To learn about world’s politics? Oh boy I have a news for you…
I would speculate that it’s not about individuals compiling and playing without paying, but that with access to the codebase, creating cracks and online cheats would be trivial, which might actually hurt their bottom line
