There's got to be something better than copilot already. It's great at autocomplete, but my experience with fix or explain is: yep, that's nice, but also complete bullshit.

@rem It's almost as though there's no understanding in AI, and all it is is a transformer of text.

I don't see this ever being "good".

@mattwilcox @rem Absolute same. `fix` helps me out maybe 1 of 4 times.

I really don't get why people are so hyped about it.

But as you say, as autocomplete it def helps in certain situations.

@rem I find AWS Q to be *slightly* better

@rem I’ve been happy with sourcegraph’s cody… now using the latest model from anthropic. It is still often wrong but it has been better than others at getting me some usable information for the insane typescript errors I’ve come across. I also like aider as a tool to refactor code from time to time.
