In my opinion, by any measure other than "marketing speak that might pique your interest," I see the headers as an absolute failure to capture reality. Github is the world's leading platform for software collaboration, sure. But it isn't "powered by AI." Copilot, a beta programming assistant tangential to their main product, is AI powered.
