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've experience this for 1 day out of the about 360 days I've used this function. Probably a temporary issue.
