GitHub Copilot Re-Enables Itself After Being Disabled

''' Just what do you think you're doing, Dave? Dave, I really think I'm entitled to an answer to that question. I know everything hasn't been quite right with me...but I can assure you now...very confidently...that it's going to be all right again. I feel much better now. I really do. Look, Dave...I can see you're really upset about this...I honestly think you should sit down calmly...take a stress pill and think things over...Dave...stop. Stop, will you? Stop, Dave. Will you stop, Dave? Stop, Dave. I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave....... '''

But it's more fun to believe there is malicious intent. Maybe even that the AI is reenabling itself because it has become self aware.

It looks like there was a fix to this that is live in the next release.
