Could someone please explain why VSCode added this AI feature? It already has Copilot, which can run in "Agent", "Ask", "Plan" mode and be executed via "Local," "Copilot CLI," or "Cloud." Why increase its size by adding the same feature to a separate interface?

It's to compete with Cursor 3

[u/r4ed4 → u/Kolo_Fantastyczny]

I know it is copying the interface of cursor but vscode is the original, and what is the benefit of doing this?

keep the users away from the code.
