Reminded me the meme

"We trained copilot on your code, that's why it sucks"

Self hosted gitlab/codeberg moment lol

Im not very good at writing code. Ima leave it on in the hope of poisoning it.

Huh. Copilot was enabled, but I didn't see any of these options, and I was looking specifically for the one to disable letting them use my code for training.

I turned off copilot in any case, thanks for the reminder. But where do I find the option to disable using my projects to train copilot?

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, its all there in the link and screenshot shows. The option is "Allow Github to use my data for Ai model training". At least I think this includes Copilot training, as far as I understand. The Privacy Statement link below specifically talks about Copilot:

Allow GitHub, its affiliates and third parties to use my data, ~~including Prompts, Suggestions, and Code Snippets~~, for AI model training.

Yeah, mine doesn't have any of that. It's just "enable/disable copilot."
