Kevin BeaumontIf you want an lol - Microsoft have implemented Copilot on its own GitHub repos and it’s a clusterfuck, you can see MS engineers publicly begging Copilot to work.
Stuck HereThis is interesting and I'm following some of it, but can someone #ExplainItToMeLikeIm5?
I want to fully understand the stupidity. MS has AI copilot producing code for clients and its messing up royally? And the IT guys are talking to it as though it has thought?

@MyWoolyMastadon crystallized sand that is fed books' worth of text from the Internet with no real capability of understanding language or human reason attempts to make a stew out of said information, and spits out gibberish that makes the humans that made it visibly upset over how sand can't do things that only humans can do
Zeh Fernando@MyWoolyMastadon @GossiTheDog sorta. The AI is attempting to fix bugs, but despite the seemingly well written PRs, it's doing so in the worst way possible: writing code that doesn't compile, breaking tests, adopting bogus logic.
MS employees are trying to respond to the PRs to nudge the AI in the right direction, but it keeps breaking things.
Meanwhile all the problems identified could probably have been solved in 1/10th of the man-hours used, if they had been written by a real person.
David Nash@MyWoolyMastadon @GossiTheDog My favorite so far: Copilot fixed a description of faulty logic in a comment (for non-programmers: a bit of text that is not actually code, but describes what the code does or is expected to do), but did not actually fix* the faulty code itself* until another dev prompted it to do so.
