Cool thanks! I haven't tried it for troubleshooting, I'll give that a go when I next need it.
Are you using one integrated into your IDE? Or just standalone in a web browser? That's probably what I ought to try next (the IDE end of things). I saw an acquaintance using PyCharm's integrated assistant to auto gen commit messages, that looked cool. Not exactly game changing of course.
I am using the built-in copilot on Vs code + the copilot chat app.
Are you finding that the assistance it provides has gotten worse over time? When I first started using it, it was quite helpful the majority of the time. In truth, it's still pretty decent with autocomplete, just less consistently good than before. However the chat help has truly gone into decline. The amount of unfounded statements it returns is terrible.
And the latest issue is that I've started getting responses where it starts to show me an answer, but then hides the response and gives me an error that the response was filtered by Responsible AI.
Glad I'm not directly paying for it.
