Interesting to see Copilot injecting ads into PR descriptions. Although there are a handful of older instances of this, if GitHub search is working properly, it looks like this started happening at scale around 10 days ago with more than 1k injections of this particular ad per day since then (if you search for other ad strings, you can find the rate of other ads)

What will they think of next?
It looks like the pull requests were authored by humans, then edited by the bot. I use codeberg, not github, so I’m not that familiar with the service. Does github have some kind of opt-in/opt-out llm editor feature, or is the bot just going around editing random pull requests?

I believe that it happened, but I’m not yet convinced it wasn’t some sort of bug. But I want to believe!
