Sorry for the Kite team, but for other folks aspiring here, more optimism is in order: We pay for copilot for Graphistry staff because it works well. Similar story for Docker Desktop: It's new, yet people are already paying for it to the tune of 8 figures revenue per year. I bet similar is/will be happening with Copilot. Credit to where credit is due. I worked in R&D here in a group tackling it for almost a decade ("program synthesis"), and while Copilot has a lot more to do, it solved so much of the usability & basic use case gap of what the R&D community had been attempting for years. Large language models & transformer models have been out for years, and the Github team executed well on adapting them. (Separately: There _is_ an interesting question whether this space is VC-investable -- how likely will at least 1 startup here make it to 9-10 figures of revenue. But that's another story.)
