> On April 24 we'll start using GitHub Copilot interaction data for AI model training unless you opt out. Review this update and manage your preferences in your GitHub account settings.

Now
"Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training" is enabled by default.

Turn it off here:
https://github.com/settings/copilot/features

Ugh, can't believe they made this opt-in by default, and didn't even post the direct URLs to disable in their blog post.

To add on to your (already helpful!) instructions:

- Go to https://github.com/settings/copilot/features
- Go to the "Privacy" section
- Find: "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training"
- Set to disabled

You can't believe Microshaft didn't tell you how to not get shafted?
