But I don't want to make the claim lightly, so I did an experiment.
I signed up for copilot pro, and have been using their 'edit' feature. This is more than just their auto complete.
I set myself a goal to create a playable web game of classic frogger.
It took 4 hours with copilot "edit" and my full attention.
I didn't write a single line of code, but I did ask it to refactor and gave it a project description.
I suspect this would have taken me 4 days full time to get to this level.
Try it out:
Question, how familiar are you with the used technologies? My experience on where Ai have been useful so far is things I don't have a good understanding on but, when I do, its a different ball game, mostly because coding it directly seems faster since I know exactly the behaviour I am looking for and I am not having to deal with unintended consequences.
I see it as the Alice cat thing, when you don't know where you going, any road will take you there. So its been great for exploratory work and prototyping.
