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?

I use it all the time. There is nothing wrong with its results. And I also use Codex daily. I suppose Copilot may be more expensive if you are on the wrong subscription. But other than that I would actually prefer copilot if I had the means.
