Copilot: forces an AI summary at the top of every word document, intercepts every copy and paste, is injected in every search result
Stays: People love this shit, they use it all the time!

I use it for .net syntax and .net lib references I figure if it’s good for anything it’s that. I also used it to write a soulless email about communication and accountability I had to send a dev after he just set himself out of office for 4 days and missed his deliverable deadline.

It still hallucinates MSSQL functions, so I wouldn’t assume it will be great at .Net

Well, if you count its uninstall feature, sure.

Absolutely NOT in office/email/whatever. But I must say copilot in vscode is very useful, auto-completion and for small tasks, it can generates code not that bad, just need small mod here and there and that’s it.

I’d believe him more if it was opt in and very clearly let folks know.

To be fair, there are a fair amount of Linux users on Lemmy.as for the millions who’ve never heard of Lemmy? I’m not confident they are not. Especially given the crap we have to clean out of my parent’s computer every couple months.

3x increase makes sense to me.
GitHub Copilot (the original copilot) is wildly popular amongst professional software developers, and is used more and more as it gets more powerful.
I suspect most of the original paying customer base are developers and they’re seeing a 3x usage, primarily amongst them, with a small bump from users of all the other copilots.

Since they renamed M362 to Copilot the usage numbers have been off the chart!

Weren’t they just begging us to use their slop machine like a week ago? Now it’s being used “a lot”? Sure Jan, lie to pump the stock.

Their stock price dropped 10% last night. Desperation is sinking in.

That sounds expensive. Is it making money?

Copilot when enmeshed in a full M365 enterprise environment is useful. Some higher up asked me for an update on everyone’s progress on their tasks (no one updates the DevOps board). I open the meeting event and then ask copilot for an update. Since the meeting was recorded and transcribed, it gave me an accurate summary which I copy pasted to the higher up.
Why couldnt the higher up just ask copilot themselves? Corporate organization!!! This and similar are good use cases for copilot.
As a standalone LLM, it’s kind of fun but it’s garbage. Just like ChatGPT. Not reliable, quotes sources but half the time it says the opposite of what the source actually states, completely useless for any task that requires precision or analysis.
It convinces the higher ups that it’s good though. And this is because higher ups are mostly completely technology-illiterate. Most people are tech illiterate too.

I use it for specific code syntax for .net but not for the grand scheme stuff. I do wish I had it integrated in visual studio to do some of the really annoying refractors that are in a billion spots but only require a small change. I don’t trust it for anything beyond what I would trust the greenest jr dev to do, and just like the jr dev it is going to mess up even the simple things so keep a close eye on it.

I’d love to see the numbers for computers with it immediately uninstalled.
BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It’s being used at my work a lot, but I’m guessing it’s mostly used as a Google replacement or an auto-complete tool. I know very few people that will generate the majority of their code with AI.

Hey, Satya. You aren’t fooling anyone and you don’t have the knack of bald-faced lying like Kristi and Donny.
