Updates to GitHub Copilot interaction data usage policy

From April 24 onward, interaction data from Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ users will be used to train and improve our AI models unless they opt out.

If you scroll down to "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training" in GitHub settings, you can enable or disable it. However, what really gets me is how they pitch it like it’s some kind of user-facing feature:

Enabled = You will have access to the feature

Disabled = You won't have access to the feature

As if handing over your data for free is a perk. Kinda hilarious.

Is that not some stock feature-flag verbiage?

Stock dark pattern verbiage...

I'm a little surprised the options aren't "Enable" and "Ask me later".
