This isn’t something happening in a vacuum. The people mocking this are people who are cynical about Microsoft forcing AI into the OS, and its marketing teams overhyping Copilot as a replacement for human dev

  • How is that dismantling my argument or relating to the point i made?

    Just because some people on reddit 'laugh' at these discussions, in one of the PRs a contributor/maintainer actually said that they enabled it on purpose, are not forced and are happy to test it out.

    And someone somewhere has and want to test stuff. Whats the issue? Test it out, play around with it, keep it or disable it.

    And i think .net as a repository is a very good example. The people on github copilot side are probably very happy about this experiement. For me its also great, it seems like github copilot is still struggling a bit.

    And copilot is called copilot because they do not advertice it as replacement.

Fair point, if there wouldn't be so many annoying and false promises before.

  • Not sure what promises you heard. For me a lot of them came true.

    I created images and music which was enjoyable. I use it to add more progress to an indie side project I'm playing around with (i added more functionality to it with ai stuff like claude code and now jules.google than i did myself in the last 3 years).

    It helps my juniors to become better in their jobs.

    Everything related to sound / talking to a computer is now solved. I talked to gemini yesterday and i interruptted it.

    Image segmentation became a solved problem and that was really hard before.

    I can continue my list of things AI/ML made things possible in the last few years which were impossible before that.
