I could easily see companies, especially enterprise-level companies, expect code that was generated with AI to have some level of ownership attributed to that AI. Whether a simple "Co-Authored-by Copilot" byline on the commit is the right way to do that is another question though.

Correct, this was the ask.

And thank you for this. In my professional setting, this is a very valuable addition -- provided it works correctly, of course ;-).

Now if we could also have comments inside the code ("BEGIN/END snippet by Copilot"), that would also be great!

No one, which is why he refuses to reply further to any of these inquiries.

I don't refuse - what would you like to ask?

they do, at least to some degree, but their comments are dead. You'll see them if you turn on show-dead somewhere
