- UPDATE: It was the inline suggestions. If you use it to fill at least a character or word it will decide that it owns your code now.
I accepted a typo fix in a changelog while correcting it. Appears as tab to autocomplete for those unaware. Still seems like a reach.
- This is crazy, autocomplete changed one variable name for me and now I see:
`Co-authored-by: Copilot <copilot@github.com>`
That is not coauthorship. And if it were, every pre-commit tool that automatically reformats or fixes code should also append themselves as coauthors!

- What a stupid annoying default setting! Here is how to turn it of in v1.117
```json
// .vscode/settings.json
{
"git.addAICoAuthor": "off"
}
```
- I think its already off in 1.118.0 by default.
- This only happens on commits where autocomplete (via Copilot) was used, which I think is on by default.
Still that doesn't seem very reasonable, LLM autocomplete seems like a basic editor feature nowadays.
- Maybe this is some form of 'growth hacking'? I.e. they will use the increase in commits cowritten by Copilot as 'proof' that the AI hype is still alive?

- The problem isn’t “AI in the workflow.” It’s AI claiming authorship by default.
If I didn’t explicitly use Copilot for that commit, adding it as co-author is not assistance, it’s misattribution.

- I have a rule for Claude to stop watermarking the commits.
I feel exposed when it's doing it and I rewrote the entire Claude assisted commit history after switching from Copilot to Claude.

- If Copilot insists on being a co-author for suggesting a comma, I expect it to also take co-responsibility for the bugs it introduces and page itself when the production goes down at 2 AM.

- PSA: You can disable it in the settings with the Git: add ai to Co author option
- Thanks for sharing. Time to go back to my emacs config from late 2010s…

- Good times for being a Vim guy...
- Friendly reminder that all (I sure hope it does all...) the Copilot kerfuffle can be disabled in `chat.disableAIFeatures` flag in the settings.

- How does this look like?
- it's annoying, but i think most people wouldn't care about this, and microsoft will think this is a good idea because majority of user will not turning it off

- It has some value when you want to do sketchy things -- oh my AI ate my commit. /s
BTW I'm glad MSFT is aggressively pushing AI into VSCode. Maybe they will destroy VSCode in the process, just like Windows -- or at least give other smaller guys some breathing spaces.
Please do, MSFT.
