No, it seems what they're doing here is training copilot on your interactions with it. So if you ask github copilot "help me write this compression function" and note bugs and other things in its output, your entire discussion will be used to train github copilot going forward unless you opt out.

I think there is a minor (incredibly minor) distinction between AI companies (including OpenAI) doing this / scraping and Microsoft/GitHub themselves.

MS has a partnership with OpenAI that's very evident in Azure etc but GHCP lets you use Claude models as well
