You get used to AI, then it learns from you, then it doesn’t need you.

How To Opt Out Of GitHub Copilot Training Data Use
GitHub offers an option to turn off data collection in your account settings. You can find this in the Copilot features page, located within the Privacy section of your GitHub account settings. To do this:
- Log in to your GitHub account and go to your account settings.
- From there, navigate to the Copilot features page.
- Find the option labeled “Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training” under Privacy.
- Set the dropdown to “Disabled” to turn off data collection.
If you have multiple GitHub accounts, you’ll need to repeat this process for each one, as the setting applies individually to each account.
