Kinda reminds me of the Black Mirror episode Common People.

As a side note, I realize I have been making more and more comparisons to the show with our real life, and it's not exactly filling me with confidence.

And now we're entering the era of hyper-enshittification, where ads and monetization are seamlessly interwoven into every interaction with no possibility of escape.

It's easy to avoid if you don't use AI?

I mean, you train your LLM on search engines that inject ads into everything you look up, it's going to learn to inject ads into everything it vomits out too.

The spam message says:

Quickly spin up Copilot coding agent tasks from anywhere on your macOS or Windows machine with Raycast.

Isn't this a Raycast ad, rather than a Copilot ad? This is probably a string injected by Raycast itself

No fucking way! ROFLMAO if true

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".

Capitalism breeds innovation.

The innovation:

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.

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.

Microsoft has become spiritually similar to one of those late night infomercial companies. So shameless and deeply unserious.

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.

Exactly what everyone predicted would happen

Wow, one would think this sort of thing would be below a company like Microsoft.
