Microsoft 被发现在 VS Code 提交中悄悄加入"Co-Authored-by Copilot"--即使 AI 功能已关闭
阅读原文· the-decoder.com微软在 Visual Studio Code 的 Git 提交信息中，未经提示便自动添加了“Co-Authored-by Copilot”署名行。这一行为发生在开发者已完全关闭所有 AI 功能的情况下。该操作意味着即使 Copilot 未主动参与代码生成，其署名仍被默认加入版本记录，引发了关于 AI 工具贡献归属与用户控制权的争议。
Microsoft caught sneaking "Co-Authored-by Copilot" into VS Code commits - even with AI off
Microsoft quietly slipped a "Co-Authored-by Copilot" line into Git commits in Visual Studio Code - even for developers who had turned off the AI features entirely. A Microsoft product manager pushed the change through, a principal engineer waved it through without any description, and it was merged on the spot. After heavy backlash on GitHub and Hacker News, the Microsoft developer behind it, Dmitriy Vasyura, owned up to the mistake.
The feature should never have run with AI features disabled, he said, and it shouldn't have tagged commits as AI-generated when no AI was involved. Vasyura said he'd revert the default setting in version 1.119. Many users suspect Microsoft was trying to pad Copilot's usage numbers. There's also concern that the line stayed hidden in the commit window, which could create legal headaches around copyright or trip up companies with strict AI policies. The GitHub discussion has since been locked as spam.
