Someone I work with who always hand writes his code used copilot to write his commit message as usual this morning.

Lo and behold it had snuck an "authored by copilot" tag onto the end of the message and github picked up on it and labeled the commit accordingly - when he saw "and copilot" next to his name on github he flipped his lid and ranted about how copilot only exists on the back of stolen code from humans and it has no right to claim any credit whatsoever to anything original like being an author ever.

He edited out the attribution and force pushed it before anyone else could commit on top of it.

(Apparently copilot writes commit messages in such a way that no matter how trivial the edit, it sounds like he'd been planning and working for hours and hours on it.)
