I asked copilot how developers would react if AI agents put ads in their PRs.

>Developers would react extremely negatively. This would be seen as 1. A massive breach of trust. 2. Unprofessional and disruptive. 3. A security/integrity concern. 4. Career-ending for the product. The backlash would likely be swift and severe.

Sometimes AI can be right.

I'm reminded of the ads when logging into Ununtu in the motd...nothing infuriated me more (I only used it for a short period).

It’s not really ads, it’s more like "Sent from my iPhone"-style sentences at the end of PR texts.
