Okay but why? It's not like it's personal Data or something. I don't get why people are mad ._.

EDIT: Ofcourse you can downvote me but I'd really like an answer, tho. The article is not very clear about this.

It gives worse answers and hallucinates a lot, problems specific to the model's design and not how much training data it gets. Even if it did work, it would be taking jobs away from actual programmers. It's a total net negative, users have nothing to benefit from this. Plus, since this is a community of programmers, they're all very much aware of these limitations and the lack of ethics of OpenAI.

Except from the “taking Jobs part” I can understand you, thank you :D
