Does GitHub Copilot now leave unsolicited PR review comments?


I must have missed the memo but is it true that GitHub Copilot now leaves PR review comments even though nobody enabled it?

I saw it happen in some projects I follow. I don't think the project authors enabled Copilot reviews. Trying to make sense of what's going on.

I guess I'm trying to understand this - If I create a PR on my repo, is it possible that Copilot will come to my PR uninvited and leave unsolicited PR comments? If that's correct, is there a way to disable it?

(Please don't treat this question as ragebait. It's a genuine question and I'd like genuine answers please.)

Yes, but it reviews not only PRs in your repos, it also reviews any PRs you create on any repo and marks these as if you requested the review. Unacceptable.

You can disable it here: https://github.com/settings/copilot/features under "Automatic Copilot code review".
