    At the start I used to use ChatGPT to help me write really rote and boring code but now it’s not even useful for that. Half the stuff it sends me (very basic functions) LOOK correct but don’t return the correct values or the parameters are completely wrong or something absolutely critical.

        idk what you guys mean but GitHub copilot still works absolutely well, the suggestions are fast and precise, with little Tweeks here and there… and gpt4 with code interpreter are absolute game changers … idk about basic chatgpt 3.5 turbo though

          Github Copilot is a bit different, it’s powered by OpenAI Codex which is trained on all public repos. And yes, it’s quite effective!

            Public GPL or public MIT? So there’s a chance of you adding GPL code to your private repository and having a very messy licensing?

              My understanding is that it’s all publicly viewable code on Github regardless of licence. The legality of the training data and usage is hotly debated. Although you can get it to generate entire code blocks, my use and where I find it effective is finishing lines of code based on context of what I’m writing, so it’s “filling in the blanks” around my code so to say.

                It is not because tone can see that one can use it.

                Open source does not mean “free to repurpose”

            There was a free version?

            I’ve been paying for it for a few months now - it makes some stupid suggestions occasionally and you definitely have to check everything, but can hugely increase productivity.

            I use vscode as my notepad, so whenever I need to make a list or write something, it will automatically give suggestions that I can choose to include. Has been useful for finding new programs, products and services as well.

            Note it will complain if you directly ask it a non coding related question, however.
