What are you guys working on where chatgpt can figure it out? Honestly, I haven't been able to get a scrap of working code beyond a trivial example out of that thing or any other LLM.
I'm forced to use Copilot at work and as far as code completion goes, it gets it right 10-15% of the times... the rest of the time it just suggests random — credible-looking — noise or hallucinates variables and shit.
Forced to use copilot? Wtf?
I would quit, immediately.
Pay my bills. Thanks.
I've been dusting off the CV, for multiple other reasons.
how surprising! /s
but seriously, it's almost never one (1) thing that goes wrong when some idiotic mandate gets handed down from management.
a manager that mandates use of copilot (or any tool unfit for any given job), that's a manager that's going to mandate a bunch of other nonsensical shit that gets in the way of work. every time.
It's an at-scale company, orders came from way above. As did RTO after 2 years full-at-home, etc, etc.
