Nah, you're definitely the few. Its not a random sample, but an informal survey of my coworkers found no one who would care and generally positive sentiment.

The people who comment on something are disproportionately those who care a great deal.

My point was not that those critical of CoPilot are in a majority, it is that our perspective is important because our labour is what makes copilot possible.

What proportion of its capability is derived from the labor of people who don't like it? I get your point about feeling like an unwilling contributor while github/MS harvests revenue from people who like it. But there's an implication here of being in a critical majority, which I am not convinced is the case.
