Yet I found the “Copilot SWE Agent” authorization had been added to my account, and apparently, it was “used within the last week”. I can’t imagine what it was used for, because I detest AI and refuse to use it for anything.\n\nI would not have known to check for this if I hadn’t been warned by members of the Rust language Zulip chat. You may want to check your own accounts!",
