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?
This is just the average Atlassian or Slack experience coming to GitHub. You’re just trying to do your job and the platform is constantly trying to push you to use services of advertisers.
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?
Enshitification so soon? And the bubble hasn’t burst yet? I know it’s all a matter of time before I ask AI for FOSS software recommendations and it tries to upsell me on some cloud-subscription bullshit that “addresses all my requirements” and comes with “award winning 24/7 support”.
someone with a corner office in redmond reminded someone else that shareholders expect to see an immediate return on their $100+ billion ‘investment’ in this shit.
They already came out to say “we’re sowwy” and took it back after the backlash
We’ve disabled it already. Basically it was giving product tips which was kinda ok on Copilot originated PR’s but then when we added the ability to have Copilot work on any PR by mentioning it the behaviour became icky. Disabled product tips entirely thanks to the feedback.
Yeah, and the worst part is that submitting the PR is trivial. You just offload the reviewing work onto the maintainer and then feed the review comments back into the AI. Effectively, you’re making the maintainer talk to the AI, by going through you as a middleman, a.k.a. completely wasting their time.

No fucking way! ROFLMAO if true

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

Capitalism breeds innovation.

Good, I hope every PR submitted by an AI proudly displays the AI that it was made with so maintainers know which PRs to reject
why is copilot submitting prs? i figured any reasonable dev would use ai, if at all, like a rubber duck and syntax library?
i still use devdocs.io - that’s my goto.
Lots of unreasonable devs out there.

Microsoft has become spiritually similar to one of those late night infomercial companies. So shameless and deeply unserious.
Yeah. They became that a few decades ago.
