Are folks using #ai copilots for generating code successfully? Mine gets confused on syntax a bunch but it's a local model which is general rather than code specific. Like I wonder if I am prompting it poorly or something
@mauve they're great for generating bugs you won't know how to fix later
@cwebber Is this from personal experience and finding out or second hand from what others have said?
@mauve From reading multiple papers studying the effects of code assistants
@cwebber Interesting. My main frustratiom is thatthe code it write just isn't anywhere near the quality I need and it generates stuff that barely makes sense. I've mostly been exploring this as an alternative to speech to text coding and for doing some quick formatting but so far it's just sucked. Even very junior devs need less hand holding and reviews

I even went through various exercises with and without the help of chatgpt to see if there is any improvement in quality or speed, but for the life of me cant make it produce anything useful that would be in any way an improvement over doing it all on my own.
It feels more like me teaching and babysitting chat gpt
