I use github copilot. It really is just fancy autocomplete. It's often useful and is indeed impressive. But it's not revolutionary.
I've also played with ChatGPT and tried to use it to help me code but never successfully. The reality is I only try it if google has failed me, and then it usually makes up something that sounds right but is in fact completely wrong. Probably because it's been trained on the same insufficient data I've been looking at.
Yeah agreed. I use copilot too. It's fine for small, limited tasks/functions but that's about it. The overwhelming majority of my work is systems design and maintenance though.. There's no AI for that..
