I have an MIT licensed GitHub repo (created in 2019) that I purposefully left keys in and deactivated them before I even committed.

The repo is somewhat niche, and copilot will nearly (with some help) create the entire repo, including the original repos comments.... but won't generate the same keys no matter how hard I've tried.

I'm pretty sure there was some at least some sanitization before it made its way into the model.

your anecdata is not data though. it's entirely possible to check in keys in variables that do not resemble keys to any supposed AI
