"The most concerning part is that I had already checked the commit message before committing. I deleted Copilot's generated English commit message and manually wrote my own commit message instead. However, after the commit was created, the final Git history still contained the Copilot co-author line."
"There was no ill intent by [an] evil corporation, but rather a desire to support functionality that some customers expect of VS Code [with regard to] AI-generated code."
Microsoft has retracted a change in VS Code that automatically added a 'Co-authored-by: Copilot' line to commits, which caused frustration among developers. Users reported that this attribution appeared even when Copilot was not used, leading to concerns about the integrity of commit messages. Developers expressed dissatisfaction with the default activation of this feature. Dmitriy Vasyura, a VS Code reviewer, acknowledged the oversight and emphasized the need for the implementation to respect user settings regarding AI features.
