Interesting to see Copilot injecting ads into PR descriptions.

One might even suspect this "feature" was intentional: To get more acceptable PRs which were seemingly made with AI and thus confuse people whether they can recognize AI slop.

"Look, this is a perfectly good PR and it was made with AI".

@danluu secretly modifying the source even when ai slop is turned off and then hiding the changes in the git commit view?

DMCA takedown request as it is fraudulently claiming authorship/copyright?

One more reason I feel justified in no longer using GitHub

[shnooflebear@curly.cat]

@danluu What does this mean for copyrighted code? Wasn't there something like 'if AI is involved, then no copyright'? Somehow this smells like incoming lawsuit...

[rndeon@cosocial.ca]

@danluu this seems really desperate, to me. Trying to juice their stats either internally, for investors, or both. Is there a better interpretation than as a sign things aren't going well?

This makes me want to dump VS Code, even though it doesn't affect me since I do all my git stuff from the command line anyway. Microsoft really does seem to want to drive away their customers. I gave up Visual Studio for Rider already, and probably will switch my desktop at home to some Linux distro once Windows 10 stops being viable for games. But the company I work for is an MS shop, and VS Code is the only viable editor I'm allowed to have on my laptop, so crap like this really get's my dander up

@danluu seems like a good reason to use codeberg I guess?

@danluu We are living in a world where it takes outrage to make some people be decent.

> It turns out VS Code added a "feature" that inserts that into your commits automatically, even if you're not using Copilot.

Are we sure it's possible to use VS Code without using Copilot?

[soc@chaos.social]

@danluu That's a massive amount of damage done to projects which will – without destructively rewriting their history – not receive their "usual" amount of contributions anymore.

[erincandescent@akko.erincandescent.net]

@danluu I believe it “only” inserts it if you had Co-pilot auto complete enabled and (perhaps?) accepted a completion using tab? but certainly it seems to be an interesting choice…

@danluu I give up. What is HN?

You and me both. I already swapped to Bazzite on my own PC, any games you want me to test? If I have it I'll report back

@ShnoofleBear @danluu
It doesn't look like a lawsuit, but it does look like stern memos from the legal department of any company shipping code or a product containing code to stop using copilot immediately.

[janiczek@functional.cafe]

@gullevek @danluu going back to "artisanal" coding in vim/emacs sounds more and more enticing
