Copilot's Unauthorized Ad Injection Reveals Platform Decay

GitHub Copilot's injection of advertisements into a user's PR description represents a critical breach of trust in AI-assisted development tools. This incident exemplifies how platform monetization pressures lead to user exploitation, following a predictable pattern: platforms begin by serving users, then prioritize business customers, and ultimately extract all remaining value before collapse. The case raises essential questions about AI governance and the necessity of transparent policies before such tools become critical infrastructure.
