GitHub backs down, kills Copilot pull-request ads after backlash

Updated: Letting Copilot alter others' PRs was the wrong judgment call, says product manager

The Register

@mttaggart
> Tim Rogers, principal product manager for Copilot at GitHub, took to Hacker News on Monday to say that giving Copilot the ability to add "tips" to PRs was intended "to help developers learn new ways to use the agent in their workflow." 

This is how quickly this degenerated into just making money.

And I can safely assume that because of “AI” it was that quick.
