Copilot, or "chat with Copilot" is a button that is available on every page right next to the search bar.

I don't have to be a Copilot user to click on it.

This change is malicious, and it doesn't only affect Copilot users. It affects everyone on the platform!

Again, this collects usage data. If you click the button by accident and don’t interact, they get no data.
So? This feature is available to everyone and you have zero idea how many people actually use it.

If I go to one of your GPL projects and I ask a simple question to find out what this project is about, you will be perfectly "ok" that this interaction (that includes most of the code that is required to answer my dumb the question) will be used for training?

This is not ok.

Nobody in this subthread is saying if it's OK or not. We're just saying that it's very useful to know that this is what they're specifically collecting. Jiminy.
