How to Disable Github Copilot Autocomplete in vs code

Why?

I actually like AI. I use it—like, all the time. But being a seasoned programmer, I have grown increasingly frustrated with the invasive suggestions popping up all over the second I start typing in my favorite IDE.

This is not a rant—BUT. Why, why, why isn't there just a button to turn off this noise?

Add this to your settings.json to silence Copilot's "help":

{
    "github.copilot.enable": {
        "*": false,
        "plaintext": false,
        "markdown": false
    }
}
