This is just the average Atlassian or Slack experience coming to GitHub. You’re just trying to do your job and the platform is constantly trying to push you to use services of advertisers.
Good, I hope every PR submitted by an AI proudly displays the AI that it was made with so maintainers know which PRs to reject
They already came out to say “we’re sowwy” and took it back after the backlash
We’ve disabled it already. Basically it was giving product tips which was kinda ok on Copilot originated PR’s but then when we added the ability to have Copilot work on any PR by mentioning it the behaviour became icky. Disabled product tips entirely thanks to the feedback.

Capitalism breeds innovation.
The innovation:
Enshitification so soon? And the bubble hasn’t burst yet? I know it’s all a matter of time before I ask AI for FOSS software recommendations and it tries to upsell me on some cloud-subscription bullshit that “addresses all my requirements” and comes with “award winning 24/7 support”.
the awards
someone with a corner office in redmond reminded someone else that shareholders expect to see an immediate return on their $100+ billion ‘investment’ in this shit.
No fucking way! ROFLMAO if true
I believe that it happened, but I’m not yet convinced it wasn’t some sort of bug. But I want to believe!
It’s not a bug… It’s promoting Raycast. The initial link goes to the github docs https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/coding-agent/create-a-pr#asking-copilot-to-create-a-pull-request-from-raycast
Which again points to https://www.raycast.com/
so it seems raycast embeds this promo with link
Microsoft has become spiritually similar to one of those late night infomercial companies. So shameless and deeply unserious.
Yeah. They became that a few decades ago.
why is copilot submitting prs? i figured any reasonable dev would use ai, if at all, like a rubber duck and syntax library?
i still use devdocs.io - that’s my goto.
Lots of unreasonable devs out there.
Yeah, and the worst part is that submitting the PR is trivial. You just offload the reviewing work onto the maintainer and then feed the review comments back into the AI. Effectively, you’re making the maintainer talk to the AI, by going through you as a middleman, a.k.a. completely wasting their time.
