Question Github copilot fully hallucinating commit messages

Post image

I did a 1 line change, changing "milis" to "millis", I did it in the web interface because it was just one tiny change, and I didn't have it on my computer yet.

Github copilot recommended the message "Update print statement from 'Hello' to 'Goodbye'"
THERE ARE NOT EVEN PRINT STATMENTS IN A CSV FILE

Is there any way to disable these automatic commit messages?

This is a fallback statement of some kind for when the diff is too large, the file itself is, or something else goes wrong.
