> it fell short of the 10× improvement required to break through because today’s state of the art for ML on code is not good enough. You can see this in Github Copilot, which is built by Github in collaboration with Open AI. As of late 2022, Copilot has a number of issues preventing it from being widely adopted. True, AI assisted coding does not deliver 10x. But as a user of another AI assistant, I feel that it gives…
I never cared a lot about Kite. But oh boy, suddenly it's the only product in a category I do care about! Thank you!

Your anecdote is trivially rebutted with another. I tried Github Copilot _more than twice_ (gasp), and now pay 10$/month for it. Happily.

How much of that is paid for by devs and how much is paid for by their employers?
(That manager getting the purchase order approved through corporate took months and months, but that's neither here nor there.)

Loads of devs I’ve spoken to, from junior to principal level, absolutely love Github Copilot though. Don’t know who is paying it for them, nor if Kite was significantly worse, but I think that at least Copilot has a brilliant future ahead of it.
They got wiped out by microsoft, github copilot, and litigation issues around AI provided code.
