It should be able to (try to) do something like that too.
There's a little demo about that here: https://copilot.github.com/
It's "just" an autocompletion system basically, if you write something that looks like the beginning of a test it should understand that and try to autocomplete that.

#13GitHub says you don't need to credit GitHub for any of the code suggestions, but since it's trained on public sources of code, anyone have a clue on potential licensing pitfalls?

It does!
Re: GitHub Copilot
#15It's funny that GitHub ships their own text editor, Atom, but the second example (under the "More than Autocomplete" header) on the Copilot website is clearly using VSCode.
Re: GitHub Copilot
#16I'd like to see something like that, but with knowledge about every single file in the codebase, and running locally.
Like an IDE?

#17Four years later: your AI replacement? When do you all predict something like this will happen?
Maybe thirty four years later. I don't think there's AI to gather requirements, talk to people, understand a problem and produce code. That's kinda general intelligence level AI.
But this thing can possibly make devs work easier and if it's good enough maybe smaller teams can produce more.

#19Four years later: your AI replacement? When do you all predict something like this will happen?
I'm not at all worried about AI taking over software development. In all likelihood, what you'll see instead are AI plugins in IDE editors which just assist in a much more advanced way than the intellisense we have now. Having machines code out the business logic is very much so something that would be less efficient than having a person do it.
Realistically, it just means that, rather than your coworker code-reviewing you and making a handful of comments, you get a machine to do that, and get two or so comments from your coworker about the business logic.
To answer your question: never.

now they just need to build this into vim.
