Over half of all tech industry workers view AI as overrated
(www.techspot.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I use github copilot. It really is just fancy autocomplete. It's often useful and is indeed impressive. But it's not revolutionary.
I've also played with ChatGPT and tried to use it to help me code but never successfully. The reality is I only try it if google has failed me, and then it usually makes up something that sounds right but is in fact completely wrong. Probably because it's been trained on the same insufficient data I've been looking at.
I still consider copilot to be a serial license violator. So many things are GPL licensed on GitHub and completing your code with someone else's or at least variation of it without giving credit is a clear violation of the license.
For me it depends a lot on the question. For tech questions like programming language questions, it's much faster than a search engine. But when I did research for cars and read reviews, I used Kagi.
Yeah agreed. I use copilot too. It's fine for small, limited tasks/functions but that's about it. The overwhelming majority of my work is systems design and maintenance though.. There's no AI for that..
