There are Copilot ads in the dotnet docs

@ChairmanMeow ok, but again,

  1. There is no reason to ask copilot to do this relatively simple task if you have the docs open in front of you

  2. If you have to look up instructions for how to prompt copilot to do something then there is no reason for copilot to exist

Just give me one realistic scenario where this information helps someone other than Microsoft's KPI tracking executives

@ChairmanMeow I think it's relevant, though — like, if we accept that the whole premise of Copilot is that it doesn't need to be documented, then you have to ask what Microsoft *were* intending to accomplish by putting it in the docs. Clearly they had *some* goal in mind and "to make people use Copilot" is the only thing I can think it could be. And if this bit of the docs exists not to help the user but to drive traffic to Copilot and that's, I mean, yeah, that's an advert disguised as a help file and it's... at best icky
