Fuck AI

Copilot is awful. Pretty much all the ones that operate by that model of "continuously sending pings to the server for various random requests and helpful hints" are pretty much guaranteed to be garbage, because the economics don't work unless they pare down the resources devoted to it until it's dumb as a post.

(Well, the economics still don't work even then, but they're hemorrhaging money at a little bit slower rate if they make it stupid)

Copying and pasting code to Claude, I've found to work decently well if you structure it so you can keep your focus and not put Claude in a position to fail too badly by taking on too large of a task. I know Anthropic has a code assistant that works on some kind of slightly different paradigm, so maybe that one is decent, I don't know. But yeah Copilot will never accomplish much of anything helpful beyond auto-completing some statements every now and then.
