    I mean it gets there in the end but it’s often three of four prompts before it provides working code for a relatively simple powershell script. Can’t imagine that it scales to complex code that well at the moment, but then again I’m not a coder.

    Ah get outta here! Next time they’ll say that co pilot also chooses my furry porn and controls my buttplug while it codes for me.

    A more appropriate line would be that Copilot can shit out code faster than you can pinch off your own loaf.

    I read “users respond with mercyless trolling” in the teaser, I have to open the article.

    Good thing finishing your coffee is many sips. Because Copilot certainly doesn’t feel fast. It often feels so slow you wonder whether waiting is worth it.

    What they forget to mention is that you then spend the rest of the week to fix the bugs it introduced and to explain why your code deleted the production database…

    I do NOT want to have ditch Windows after this long. Microsoft. Please don’t just carve a big, Copilot-pilot-shape hole out of Windows and weld it in there, expecting that that is somehow what your users want.

    Of course, I do look forward to the brave new era of “Sam Altman will shut you down unless” being the new “run as administrator”

    In my experience, which consists of using copilot for about ten minutes, literally every single suggestion is wrong, and if you’re not careful it’ll insert the shitty code and then you have to go back and find out why the code isn’t working.

    I’d rather have Lizzo shum on my face than use copilot

    If thats what they are aiming at, I feel like their AI is actually suppose to be the pilot and the user the copilot

    Technically true, but nobody said the code will be at all functional. I’m pretty sure I can finish about 800000 coffees before Copilot generates anything usable that is longer than 3 lines.
