Copilot has been way more useful to me than GPT4. When I describe a complex problem where I want multiple solutions to compare, GPT4 is useless to me. The responses are almost always completely wrong or ignore half of the details I’ve written in the prompt. Or I have to write them with already a response in mind, which kinda defeats why I would use it in the first place.

Copilot provides useful autocompletes maybe… 30% of the time? But it doesn’t waste too much as it’s more of a passive tool.

FWIW i don’t try to use it for this. mostly i use it to automate writing code for tasks that are well specified, often transformations from one format to another. so yes, with a solution in mind. it mostly just saves typing, which is a minority of the work, but it is a useful time saver

Copilot is amazing. It single handedly returned me to the Microsoft ecosystem and changed the way I use the Internet. Huggingface is another great AI, I've used Githubs a bit, Codium a bit - all of these things are amazing.

This is not a fad, this is the beginning of a world that we can just actually naturally interact to accomplish things we have to be educated on how to accomplish now.

Haha, I love that people can't see the writing on wall - I think this is a bigger invention than the smartphone that I'm typing this on now, fr - just wait and see ;)
