For the last year Copilot completions have been slow, unreliable and just bad, coming in at random moments, messing up syntax in dumb ways, being slow and sometimes not showing up at all. It has been painfully bad even though it used to be good. Maybe it's since they switched from Codex to the general GPTs ...
Congratulations to Microsoft for owning enough of the stack to make doing this possible.

Thank you for your reply. I am currently having a ride with chatgpt allowing me to write applications at 3 times the speed compared to before (where before may be "never" for some technologies) and I am happy for everyone contributing to this. But all your points are well grounded, I will have to figure out a way to think about them, while keeping my day job.
Faster is not necessarily better, and if 2/3 of your value comes from LLMs, that doesn’t bode well for job security. There’s a lot that engineers can due that are well beyond the limits of LLMs. If you really want to keep your day job, I would really commit yourself to that gap when you can!
I would put that phrase the other way around.
The time freed here gives me more time to spend on what actually brings value.
My primary job is not to write applications.
And if it was, I would not include "the process of editing lines of code" in my job description.
I am not afraid to be fired, but at the same time there is no discussion about the ethics of using AI and whether ethics is a good reason not to in, my workplace.
And last but not least: The issue here - if there's any - can already be caught by linter rules like no-floating-promises in eslint/by using TypeScript instead. You don't need a shitty AI linter confidently suggesting wrong code.
That's how you advertise the product? I'm guessing competent coders at GitHub have already been replaced by juniors+copilot.

ChatBLT and Copilot break every license of every repo they were trained on. Even the most liberal project license states you have to include, and not modify, the license file. So you’re glad for code thieves. Interesting… So to give you the benefit of the doubt that you’re not just another dude who has hitched their financial wagon to this current AI slopfest, I just retried a question about writing OSSEC rules and t…

Given that AI output can't be copyrighted, how do you protect and distribute the project you are working on?
Never used Copilot or any AI assisting tool, is this a lot or is it as free as cheese in a mousetrap?

I have already replaced Copilot with continue.dev+qwen2.5-coder:1.5b on Ollama and don't see myself coming back.

They appear to be SO excited about their new feature that they sent an email about it to every single email address associated with my Github accounts. Which is quite a few addresses that have been used for git commits over the years.
