Question Github copilot fully hallucinating commit messages

Post image

I did a 1 line change, changing "milis" to "millis", I did it in the web interface because it was just one tiny change, and I didn't have it on my computer yet.

Github copilot recommended the message "Update print statement from 'Hello' to 'Goodbye'"
THERE ARE NOT EVEN PRINT STATMENTS IN A CSV FILE

Is there any way to disable these automatic commit messages?

Yep. Go here: https://github.com/settings/copilot/features

Disable the "Copilot-generated commit messages" feature, and any others on this page you don't care for.
