FYI - we have posted update on the subject with more details, links and analysis here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/314311 Hopefully this answers some more of the que…

The fact that non-AI changes are attributed to Copilot is a bug. The intent was to allow customers to add attribution of AI-generated code. As with any bug, it was not intetional.

Thank you so much for explaining the exact reason I did it! I am reading all pings from GitHub on VS Code and this was just turning into a stream of spam that wasn't adding much ne…

I did both, didn't I? :-)

Correct.

I really did create a new account to respond :)

I think this is a good point - perhaps there should be some commit-time UI which would let the user make the choice. Thanks for the suggestion!

First comment does not sound constructive - are you interested in my opinion on (n)vim? I am not a legal, so can't comment on legal things. However, I have already responded elsewh…

Agreed, fixed disableAiFeatures in my PR: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/313931 Will work on making it better later.

The change was about helping teams ensure AI-generated code is attributed in commits - nothing to do with copyrights and the like. If you don't have to take my word for it - query …

Sorry about that, it's being reverted: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/313931

Switched back to opt-in here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/313931

That's ok :-)

Thanks. Done here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/313931

It would be tricky, yes, since it depends on core editor functionality which is not exposed through the API.

I don't refuse - what would you like to ask?

Correct, this was the ask.

Good feedback, there needs to be a more explicit opt-in into this for teams that want it. FWIW nobody's performance here will improve from having this metric :-)

It is the middle of the night and I am responding. Anything specific you'd like me to respond to?

Agreed on both points. Having it shown before going into the commit would let the developer decide whether they want it. #2 is fixed in my PR.

I am reverting it because there are bug in the feature and it obviously does not work as expected. Any feedback is important, HN or not.

Fair point. We did catch it internally in testing (as we use VS Code for all our work, so some folks did stumble on it), but I think we underestimated the impact and should do a be…

Here you go: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/313931

There are customers who would like to see attribution on changes where AI contributed (companies, users, etc). True, that's not everyone, but you can query our repo for the issues …

Thanks for the PR, I'll work on getting this in.
