Interesting to see Copilot injecting ads into PR descriptions. Although there are a handful of older instances of this, if GitHub search is working properly, it looks like this started happening at scale around 10 days ago with more than 1k injections of this particular ad per day since then (if you search for other ad strings, you can find the rate of other ads)

What will they think of next?

@danluu it always did that. At first it was just advertising a survey, that would put you on a raffle to win some free copilot credits. Now that this offer is over, they moved to this more generic message. But it is like that since day 0, and only for copilot authored/assigned prs. They are not doing any of that (yet?) for human authored/assigned prs
