@itsfoss Makes me wonder if this was some kind of an attempt to show how "everyone is using co-pilot" to the suits.

@itsfoss If it only did this when the commit was a statistical autocomplete then it’d be a feature.
Having future traceability on the volumes of fire-and-forget code would actually be a good thing. Mainly for tech debt tracking purposes.
As I understand it, this was for any commit (regardless of how it came into being) which is just dumb (and maybe a bit desperate).
