I think they want the free advertisement, like Apple with its “sent from iPhone” addendums. But “sent from iPhone” is sometimes useful, and significantly shorter. If they just left it at “edited with copilot” I think it would be tolerable
No, it is still an advert, and not useful in the least.
A simpler explanation was that it was a shameful advert injected into the end of people’s emails.
Mind that a written message used to be the gold standard for expressed intent, which changed quite radically with smartphones. (Historically, this development is probably an important prerequisite for the acceptability of LLM generated text, I guess.)
It also tells me that they probably don't care about second hand embarrassment.
And it tells me that they checked my email while away from keyboard, which means they are hard working individuals who care about business, but not enough to rush to a computer to reply properly.
Lots of social ques on that one.
Not only unbothered, but genuinely appreciative of the notification.
That's a great feature. When I open a repo and I see most commits co-authored by Claude, I can quickly dismiss the entire project as slop.
If you don't want copilot garbage in your PRs, maybe don't use copilot to create or edit them?
