"I've been for a while now filing issues in the GitHub Community feedback area when Copilot intrudes on my GitHub usage, I deeply resent that on top of Copilot seemingly training itself on my GitHub-posted code in violation of my licenses, GitHub wants me to look at (effectively) ads for this project I will never touch"
"GitHub Copilot continued to exhibit strong momentum and had reached 20 million users. GitHub Copilot Enterprise customers increased 75 percent quarter over quarter as companies tailor Copilot to their own codebases,"
Developers on GitHub have made the most popular community requests to block Copilot from generating issues and pull requests and to disable Copilot code reviews. Both top-requested items remain unanswered despite many critical comments about generative AI and Copilot. One developer reported repeated Copilot intrusions and alleged Copilot training on GitHub-posted code in violation of licenses, plus unwanted promotional prompts after uninstalling an extension. Microsoft reports strong Copilot growth, citing 20 million users and a 75% quarter-over-quarter rise in enterprise customers, while many users resist or resent enforced AI features and limited opt-out options.
