    It didn’t produce the algorithm logically, it copied it.

    The magic number is part of the logic of the thing.

    But yes as said copilot is overfitted. Inverse sqrt still isn’t a good example, it’s nearly as bad as Oracle trying to claim to have found copyright infringement in Android’s standard Java library by saying that Math.average or whatnot is identical. There are way better examples of why copilot is fucked up.

      The magic number is part of the logic, yes, but that’s not even the best magic number for the job iirc, and nobody remembers how they got it.

      I just used this as an example because it’s incredibly clear that it was copied verbatim (again, comments like “what the fuck?” showing up, you can’t tell me it came up with that itself)
