Today, we're announcing plans to make VS Code an open source AI editor. We believe AI development should stay true to VS Code's core principles: open, collaborative, and community-driven. Let's build the future of software development together. aka.ms/open-source-...

Lol. Sucks. Ai is bullshit and you just have to shove it into all your products now as you make no money on your shit investment. Disgusting how you have no care for exploiting devs for your own benefit.

Quite to to the contrary, I think Copilot is a very good and non-invasive way to monetize VSCode, which ensures sustained development of this product while keeping the best all-round IDE out there completely free for anyone with no strings attached.

Hi there, I'm an advocate on the VS Code team! You can disable the built-in AI functionality in VS Code by selecting Hide Copilot in the Command Palette or selecting Hide Copilot from the Copilot menu in the VS Code title bar.
