Ok, so there are 70-81 copilots, github is one of them.

Why is github copilot a different thing in the context of the reply that was being responded to ?

Copilot is the harness, Claude and GPT are the models

Copilot is by far the worst harness of all the major players

Yes, i get that, copilot is like opencode or cursor, though perhaps with less general access to models.

There was a reply

Copilot? You mean the AI with terms of service that are in bold and explicit: “for entertainment purposes only”?

I suppose GitHub Copilot is meant, which is a different thing.

i was asking why github copilot is different in that context.
