whats copilot?
Microsofts search engine AI, so far my experiences with it have been
It thinking I've gotten offended or said something offensive and completely shutting down.
It giving me wrong info and when corrected getting all "well ackshually"
I’ve used it for basic coding stuff a few times, to great success. Nothing over a few dozen lines, but it’s great when you don’t want to bother looking up the specific functions and syntax for a particular language. For instance, you can have it write basic batch files for you. Then you simply double check it to make sure it’s accurate, (which is much easier than starting from scratch,) and you’re golden.
I have used the hell out of it for a project that needs to be written in go. I have no experience in go (but I do in over a dozen other languages). It has helped me tremendously. The autocomplete freaks me out sometimes as if it's reading my mind.
