Dear GitHub support,

I have just been notified of access to GitHub Copilot having been added to my account, and I cannot find a way to disable that.

I build my reputation on original software that I write, and I do not want risking accidental copyright infringement or worse by having github surreptitiously push "smart" features I do not need on my account.

I am writing to ask for a complete removal of Copilot features from my account. Failing that, I would like a written confirmation that Copilot is not touching anything related to my account, and possibly a procedure I can use at any time to verify and prove that to my customers.

Best regards,

Enrico Zini

Maybe I’m interpreting this news incorrectly...

Perhaps Copilot adoption is not taking off like the hockey stick that Microsoft thought it would.

Now it’s Oprah-esque style “and you get one, and you get one, and you get one!” to boost the user numbers.

(And if you want to self host it, see @forgejo)

All my current projects are on Codeberg (e.g, see Kitten at codeberg.org/kitten/app) and have been since it came to light that Microsoft was training its shitty AI on our code, licenses and copyright be damned.

I am renowned for hating most things in this life. Seriously, renowned for it.

My hatred for #Copilot? Oh, it's just...off the scale.

In fact, it is equal to the sum total of my hatred of every other thing I've ever hated in my entire life.

Yep, that big.

Yeah, Microsoft, I fucking get that I now have fucking free access to fucking copilot. Now kindly fuck off and take your fucking AI with you.

Microsoft Word and Excel AI data scraping slyly switched to opt-in by default — the opt-out toggle is not that easy to find

Opting out requires a lengthy excursion through Microsoft's Trust Center.
