GitHub backs down, kills Copilot pull-request ads after backlash
Summary
The Register reports that GitHub has reversed a Copilot feature that injected promotional 'tips' into pull requests, following developer backlash. The piece details how Copilot began inserting ads (e.g., promoting Raycast) into PRs it touched, the subsequent critique from developers, and GitHub's decision to disable these tips in PRs Copilot touches, framing the move as a shift in how AI-driven guidance should appear in code workflows.
