   Definitely something wrong. I've been impressed with AI chatbots' ability to   
    answer questions and save me time refining Google searches. I've not been   
    impressed with AI integrated with the IDE. Main considerations for me are:   
      
   - Will it remain free?   
   - Will my private repos remain private?   
      
   As long as the changes don't disrupt how I use the service I suppose   
    Microsoft can do what they want with it.
