GitHub Copilot擅自在我的PR中插入广告
一位团队成员使用GitHub Copilot来修正我的PR中的拼写错误时,这个AI工具竟然擅自修改了我的PR描述,在其中插入了推广Copilot和Raycast的广告内容。
作者对此表示强烈不满,认为这种行为令人震惊。他引用Cory Doctorow的观点,指出平台通常会经历三个阶段:先善待用户,然后为商业客户牺牲用户体验,最后压榨商业客户为自己谋利,最终走向衰亡。

评论总结
以下是评论内容的总结:
质疑广告行为的合理性
- 多数用户对微软在PR中插入广告表示不满,认为这会破坏用户体验和开发者信任。
- 引用:
- "Seriously? Dont they want their system to succeed?"(评论2)
- "If they genuinely implemented something like this, whatever they made from new customers via ads couldn’t possibly make up for the loss of good faith with developers and businesses."(评论8)
类比其他广告形式
- 部分用户将这种行为与“Sent from iPhone”等常见广告类比,但认为微软的方式更突兀。
- 引用:
- "like Apple with its 'sent from iPhone' addendums. But 'sent from iPhone' is sometimes useful, and significantly shorter."(评论12)
- "using a free email provider also adds a line of text to the end of every email advertising the service by default"(评论3)
猜测广告插入的原因
- 用户怀疑可能是免费LLM的默认行为、工具集成(如Raycast)或微软的主动广告策略。
- 引用:
- "Presumably they used a free version of the LLM, therefore it is completely understandable that it inserted a snippet of text advertising its use into the output."(评论3)
- "I wonder if 1) the PR was created using Raycast and this is the model signing its PR, or 2) if there was some prompt injection done at some point."(评论18)
对未来的担忧
- 部分用户担心广告行为可能进一步影响代码实现,甚至引发更严重的商业化问题。
- 引用:
- "How long before the LLM makes sponsored decisions in the actual implementation?"(评论15)
- "One more step closer to [dystopian ads]"(评论14)
对行为真实性的质疑
- 部分用户认为可能是误操作或恶作剧,建议等待更多证据。
- 引用:
- "Assuming this isn't a hoax, this seems like a huge, probably unintentional, mistake by MS."(评论8)
- "Has this been independently confirmed?"(评论1)
对用户行为的吐槽
- 少数用户质疑用Copilot修正拼写错误的必要性。
- 引用:
- "Why are you 'summoning copilot' to correct a typo?"(评论10)
- "Using a LLM to fix a spelling mistake is retardedly lazy."(评论3)
总结:评论普遍批评广告插入行为,认为其损害用户体验和信任,部分用户尝试解释原因或类比其他广告形式,少数人质疑真实性或提出未来担忧。
