I partly disagree, complex algorithms are indeed a no, but for learning a new language it is awesome.
Currently learning Rust and although it cannot solve everything, it does guide you with suggestions and usable code fragments.
Highly recommended.
Is there anything it provided you so far that was better than the guidance from the Rust compiler errors themselves? Every error ends with "run this command for a tutorial on why this error happened and how to fix it" type of info. A lot of times the error will directly tell you how to fix it too.
I agree, although some messages are still cryptic for a newbie like me, but thats maybe more the person on the chair than the compiler ๐.
I'd estimate copilot to be correct in only 10% of the time, solving a situation like that. Most of the time the solution suggested is also wrong, but just differently.
Having said that: sometimes (small chance, 1% maybe) the solution is spot on.
AI mainly helps with the initial syntax and on language constructs and for that it is awesome.
as does the compiler and the rust book
