I can’t believe they put ads there

Microsoft's GitHub Copilot briefly injected promotional content into pull request descriptions, mentioning Raycast as a third-party integration. The feature, framed internally as 'product tips,' appeared in over 11,400 PRs before being quickly pulled. Microsoft claimed it was meant to highlight Copilot integrations but was surfaced more frequently than intended. The incident is criticized as symptomatic of Microsoft's broader prioritization of AI adoption metrics over GitHub's core reliability, which has seen 90 incidents in 90 days with only ~90.84% uptime.
