Woof.

As a web developer. I can’t wait to get bug reports caused by this monstrosity.

That’s not even touching the maliciousness of this entire exercise.

Why DID is the correct phrasing? And there were reasons then. More bad than good, but that's the advantage of being first, then biggest.

Why trust them now? It's not trust when it's what's embedded everywhere, required by most large companies. The licensing that was Microsoft's key into everything became dependency. And dependencies can be broken, but that takes time and effort. There's been movement...

If they keep doing this Co-pilot shit, they'll be helping the cause.
