Yeah, I just wrote a blog post comment about how I enjoy using Copilot. But that’s when I explicitly ask it a question or give it a task. The auto complete is wrong more often than it’s right.

Probably doesn’t help that if it was tedious, boilerplate code I would have already explicitly asked it.

I like auto complete because I'm a terrible speller I'd write "int countOfCommplixThang", but auto complete guesses "int countComplexThing" Sometimes it even comes up with a better name than I would

  That old autocomplete is great. It’s specifically the AI autocomplete that’s less useful.

    The AI is doing it though. I type "in [tab]" and I get the whole line. Sometimes I don't even have to type anything.
    
    I've never been able to get an AI promt to write useful code though.
