The problem isn’t “AI in the workflow.” It’s AI claiming authorship by default.

If I didn’t explicitly use Copilot for that commit, adding it as co-author is not assistance, it’s misattribution.

The thing is it doesn’t even say anywhere this is being done, I only realised it after a PR was raised.

It's in yesterday's release notes

		It is buried in yesterday's release notes. They have "highlight" links to "Remote control" and "Codebase search", but not to "Copilot added as a Git co-author by default" which is right between the two. Something, that alters how commits work, and if you skip the Remote Control section, you won't see it. They knew what they were doing. This is like "Sent from an iPhone" levels of nuisance default advertising.
