#Microsoft sent an email to everyone saying they're listening to people now and they will definitely not pushing AI to everything anymore.

Also Microsoft enabled #github to collect all your "inputs, outputs and associated context to train and improve AI models". This new tickbox is enabled by default, even if you explicitly disabled Copilot before.

Actions speak louder than words.

You can disable the option at https://github.com/settings/copilot/features

@harrysintonen luckily it does seem to just be referring to inputs and outputs to github copilot? so if you don't use their AI stuff it shouldn't affect you (at least not yet)

@b
"• Outputs accepted or modified by you
• Inputs sent to GitHub Copilot, including code snippets shown to the model
• Code context surrounding your cursor position
• Comments and documentation you write
• File names, repository structure, and navigation patterns
• Interactions with Copilot features (chat, inline suggestions, etc.)
• Your feedback on suggestions (thumbs up/down ratings)"

@harrysintonen @b So if you don't use Copilot you're fine is what I gather from this?
My short searches seem to indicate that, too.
