I got into an argument with #Microsoft #Copilot today.
I asked for PowerShell code to trim the first N digits from every filename in a directory. Testing showed it actually removed 2·N characters. When I reported the bug, Copilot insisted that was impossible and said I must have run it twice.

Microsoft #Copilot is now injecting #ads into pull requests on #GitHub

Vertraulich? Nicht für alle. Wegen eines Programmierfehlers fasste Microsofts 365 Copilot E-Mails mit Sensitivitätslabeln aus „Gesendet“ und „Entwürfe“ zusammen.

Most developers now use coding assistants. I do too—#Copilot at work, #ClaudeCode at home. As a developer, I prefer not to repeat myself. This post explains why and how to avoid repetition with skills.
#DRY

Oh, #GitHub is empathetic to #OpenSource projects impacted by all the #AI slop. They're willing to help, right?
#Copilot even once, and of course they're not going to let people actually block this piece of shit.

Never thought I'd see the day when an #LLM in the current crop chooses #honesty over #fabrication. I guess, in this case at least, I beat #Copilot into submission (with an earlier criticism). But pretty sure it'll soon be back to confidently fabricating answers.
