I would assume this only refers to the data involved when you use Copilot, that is, it's irrelevant if you don't use Copilot, but maybe I'm too naïve?
(to be frank I expect them to already be training their models on our code without telling us, let alone give us a way to opt out)
@glocq I thought so too, but then.... it was enabled for me just like that, and I would not have done that myself.
And yes, reality is long ahead of any consent. I just dislike the casual mail I got:
"This approach aligns with established industry practices and will enable our models to deliver more context-aware Al coding assistance. We have tested this with Microsoft interaction data and have seen meaningful improvements, including increased acceptance rates in multiple languages."

What I meant is, the setting might have been enabled by default, but only be relevant if you actually use copilot. whatever 🙃
