It's painful to see that GitHub Copilot is called "AI". For god's sake, it is not AI. It's just an advanced auto-complete for coders. GPT-3 is close to AI, GitHub Copilot is not.
Jesus Christ, please make them stop. Stop using AI as a buzzword.
- sprafa 5y agoIs it fair to call it an ML based system?
- COMMENT___ 5y agoWhy not? GitHub Copilot was trained with ML to autocomplete your code. But it is not AI.
- arthur2e5 5y agoGitHub Copilot is literally GPT adapted for code. The paper on OpenAI Codex, the stuff powering Copilot, makes it very clear in the abstract. https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.03374 https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.03374 Either you call both AI or you call neither AI. (A previous version of the comment stated that it was tuned from GPT-3. This is incorrect; the simpler GPT was used for faster convergence.)
- COMMENT___ 5y agoIf I have to choose, then I would decide not to call them AI at all.
