  Early co-pilot (before chatgpt) was pretty decent. You typed in a comment what you wanted to do and you could cycle through code examples easily. While it wasn’t 100% accurate, it was close enough to get you what you needed and took care of the annoying work.

  As soon as ChatGPT got integrated, shit went downhill fast and I uninstalled it. It was a night and day difference.

    You’re thinking github copilot while the article is about Microsoft copilot, which is a completely different product. Of course, confusion is completely understandable and their naming is almost as bed as their operating system.

      Wait those are distinct?! Holy shit. And since Microsoft owns GitHub, that’s even less clear. Unbelievable.

  Copilot is one of two LLMs I’ve briefly tried. It was noticeably better than Gemini was at the time, but still seemed entirely redundant. Nothing it (and Gemini) offered to do were things I wanted help with. I like research and writing, so why would I outsource those things and burn down an acre of rainforest in the process?

    Gemini is fucking abysmal, Google should be embarrassed.

      I can think of a bunch of other things that Google should be embarrassed about, but Gemini is uniquely humiliating because of how proud they are if it and how hard they are pushing it.
