I have access and hints for entire functions have only appeared from code already in the same file. It uses the file you are in for context. It also says on their website that the AI may generate api keys that look real but it’s actually just a “fake” key that the AI generated as placeholder. I have had access for one day, spent my entire Saturday playing with while working on an addon for a game. I find it useful and most of the hints come from other code I have in the same files which saves me time or let’s me know when I’m too repetitive :)

  So the article mentions an issue reported by dtjm annd the maintainer answers the issue explainig that the keys are fictional. I don't see any statement by the github CEO about this being an issue as the article says.
