Fuck AI

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/23000833

I've absolutely grown to hate everything AI/LLM related.

It's sole marginal benefit is to senior devs,
with generating some boiler plate code,
which you usually still need to adjust.

For the rest it's been a waste of:

• Time during development, with wrong answers.
• Time during reviews, with garbage generated PRs from junior devs.
• Energy, contributing to global warming.

But lately M$ has been intrusively shoving Copilot down our throats on Github, which I'm quite unhappy with.

So if any of you have some uBlock Origin filters,
or any other ideas on how I can block this Copilot slop out,
please do enlighten me!

Edit: Did some searching of my own.

Go to: https://github.com/settings/copilot
Block + disable everything you can under there.

Then go to uBlock Origin => Open the Dashboard => My Filters => Add:

github.com##.copilotPreview__container
github.com##.AppHeader-CopilotChat
github.com##li.ActionListItem:has-text(Copilot)
github.com##a[href*="/settings/copilot"]
github.com##a[href*="/features/copilot"]
github.com##a[href*="/resources/articles/ai"]
github.com###copilot_free_global

It's not perfect, but at least it's a start of getting rid of the unwanted content.
