One thing I do want to clear up - lots of people have been saying things like "Great! So if I want Copilot to stay away from my code I can just include one of these words!" But there are some problems with that idea: 1. The banned word list doesn't affect what gets put into the model's training data at all, or even what gets returned as a suggestion by the server. It only affects whether the IDE will actually suggest the completion to you. 2. Some people have suggested using one of the collisions instead of a real word from the list, but this will break as soon as they change the hash function. 3. They can always take things off the word list! And the likelihood that something remains on the list is probably correlated with how actually offensive it is, which means you may not want it in your code.
