Copilot edited an ad into my PR

#342It's the same with Claude Code actually, and recently Codex too...
Claude never used to do this but at some point it started adding itself by default as a co-author on every commit.
Literally, in the last week, Codex started making all it's branches as "codex-feature-name", and will continue to do so, even if you tell it to never do that again.
Really, really annoying.

#343Earlier quoted context omitted.
I hear you, but honestly it’s kind of funny to think a company would send C&D to stop free advertising for them. I’d be surprising to see if any company ever does that, whatever the people think small brands worth they actually worth way less than that.
Is it free advertising or free brand damage? (people might think that raycast had consented to this) but as we know from this thread, Raycast didn't consent to this. It might be interesting to see what a lawyer might think of this and if there are enough reasonable claims to genuinely sue for damages (Raycast definitely seek a lawyer privately, just in case)

#344Ironically tfa is festooned with ads.
Over 1.5 trillion news articles have ads injected into them by the company's commerce team!

#345This "ad" is not exactly new. Looks like MS thinks it's a "tip" rather than an ad. I don't know if Raycast team even knows about this. https://github.com/PlagueHO/plagueho.github.io/pull/24#issue... Copilot has been adding "(emoji) (tip)" thing since May 2025. GitHub copilot was released in May 2025, so basically it has had an ad since beginning. There are 1.5m of these things in GitHub. https://github.com/search?q=%…
A bit like "suggested apps" in the start menu. It's "suggestions" and certainly not paid ads.
It's gaslighting on a worldwide scale is what it is.

They should probably get a lawyer to send a C&D.
There’s like 100 comments blaming raycast, they should just sue for damages lol.
As a data point, I consent to be counted as associating raycast with the Microsoft brand and viewing them negatively as a consequence of using pull requests as an advertising canvas.

Re: Copilot edited an ad into my PR
#348I actually love these ads and also the way Claude injects itself as a co-author.
Seeing them is an easy signal to recognize work that was submitted by someone so lazy they couldn’t even edit the commit message. You can see the vibe coded PRs right away.
I think we should continue encouraging AI-generated PRs to label themselves, honestly.
I’m not against AI coding tools, but I would like to know when someone is trying to have the tool do all of their work for them.

Adding the agent (and maybe more importantly, the model that review it) actually seems like a very useful signal to me. In fact, it really should become "best practice" for this type of workflow. Transparency is important, and some PMs may want to scrutinize those types of submissions more, or put them into a different pipeline, etc.

I believe its easy to disable the Claude Code one.
