The Copilot code completion in VSCode works surprisingly well. Asking Copilot in the web chat about anything usually makes me want to rip my hair out. I have no idea how these two could possibly be based on the same model
It quite depends on your use case, doesn’t it? This decades-old phrase about an algorithm in Fractint always stuck with me: “[It] can guess wrong, but it sure guesses quickly!”
Part of my job is getting an overview - just some generic leads and hints - about topics completely unknown to me, really fast. So I just ask an LLM, verify the links it gives and create a response within like 10-15 minutes. So far, no complaints.
Yeah I find the code completion is pretty consistent and learns from other work I’m doing. Chat and asking it to do anything though is a hallucinogenic nightmare.
