None. I tried many including GitHub Copilot.

I think these tools are not there yet, mostly because they’re simply producing wrong/non-compilabe code way too often.

I see a potential in creating modern AI-supported plugins targeting specific software development areas like test code generation, auto code review etc. though.

I use all three major AI platforms daily for content classification, summarization and generation. In a similar vein as “X company uses AI to write content and fires writers”. Except I’m the writer. And there’s two of us. And we never had other writers so no one’s getting fired. And if our project takes off we will have to hire more.

ChatGPT and GitHub copilot have changed my life. I ask ChatGPT what's the next domain/area that is ripe for disruption. ChatGPT is very smart, it replies instantly. I then instruct copilot to go code me a MVP for this chosen area. Copilot isnt as fast as ChatGPT, but it does deliver. By the time I go out, watch some movies, then take a walk on the beach and am back, the MVP is ready and I unleash it on VCs who shower…

I've found nothing but issues with OpenAi and Github's AI. The former was significantly better but has deteriorated rapidly to the point where it's more frustrating and inane to use at this point than is worth my time. The latter has never really been super helpful. I think the tiny one-liners are really nice...it's a bit like very smart code completion. However, there's nothing close to GPT4's capabilities from April/May.
