Heads up GitHub users. You have less than a month left to opt out of "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training".

"On April 24 we'll start using GitHub Copilot interaction data for AI model training unless you opt out." https://github.com/settings/copilot/features

GitHub is where people build software. More than 150 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.

@JoeSondow @elduvelle Is this for public and private repos?

"This program does not use:

Interaction data from Copilot Business, Copilot Enterprise, or enterprise-owned repositories
Interaction data from users who opt out of model training in their Copilot settings
Content from your issues, discussions, or private repositories at rest. We use the phrase “at rest” deliberately because Copilot does process code from private repositories when you are actively using Copilot. This interaction data is required to run the service and could be used for model training unless you opt out.

(emphasis mine..)

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.
