Microsoft says Copilot will 'finish your code before you finish your coffee' adding fuel to the Windows 11 AI controversy that's still raging

  I can drink coffee pretty slow, but I don’t think I can drink it that slow.

  I read “users respond with mercyless trolling” in the teaser, I have to open the article.

  Good thing finishing your coffee is many sips. Because Copilot certainly doesn’t feel fast. It often feels so slow you wonder whether waiting is worth it.

  Technically true, but nobody said the code will be at all functional. I’m pretty sure I can finish about 800000 coffees before Copilot generates anything usable that is longer than 3 lines.

  To safely put it out just pee on it.

  In my experience, which consists of using copilot for about ten minutes, literally every single suggestion is wrong, and if you’re not careful it’ll insert the shitty code and then you have to go back and find out why the code isn’t working.

  I’d rather have rebel Wilson shum on my face than use copilot

  The only time I use copilot is when I am bored at work and I make jokes with it.

  I would like to someday use AI to remaster Stars!, Magic Carpet, and Judgment Rites. However, it won’t be through co-pilot, because I fundamentally don’t trust Microsoft.

  In any case, I think genuine “hands off” development from an AI would be at least a decade off. Partially just for it to have the ability, but also for local hardware to support it. (I only use local AI, but a 100b like GLM is slow as heck on my gaming rig.)

    My boss literally every day: wow look at this new ai tool I just found!

  …but what am I going to do while it’s compiling?

  I do NOT want to have ditch Windows after this long. Microsoft. Please don’t superglue Copilot and Windows together expecting that that is somehow what your users want.

  Make it de the shit I don’t want to do, then we’ll talk

  yeah but then you have to fix everything in the code that they didn’t get right.

  like using it to automate a shell is fine; but trusting it blindly and treating it as the finishing product? you’re delusional.
