All the people there asking the simple question of why it got changed and getting ignored.
There ought to be decent number of people within Microsoft who have "Copilot usage" as a KPI. I don't think this was gamesmanship on their part (no sarcasm, I truly do not suspect malice), but I'm sure if it could have slipped in without backlash, they would have enjoyed seeing their line go up.
So freaking weird. Is it normal at MS for Product Managers to push code? wtf

IMO (and I am biased because I have written about this before in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47164481) but I believe it's to make sure they're legally covering their users, and making sure users of AI tools do at least have some attribution for AI-derived contributions
