Interesting to see Copilot injecting ads into PR descriptions. Although there are a handful of older instances of this, if GitHub search is working properly, it looks like this started happening at scale around 10 days ago with more than 1k injections of this particular ad per day since then (if you search for other ad strings, you can find the rate of other ads)

so it seems raycast embeds this promo with link
No, so it’s still just github copilot code review (bot). https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/agents/code-review#introduction
Which is embedding this link of Raycast. Meaning Raycast is paying Microsoft for sure to get included in the bot comments or pr descriptions.
It is so uncool even sad
