Honestly I get more value out of ChatGPT than I do from Copilot even though both generate the wrong stuff now and then. But I like to describe the desired functionality by writing in plain English than trying to goad copilot in the right direction by coming up with method and variable names that copilot will "like"

Have you tried writing a comment as a prompt for copilot?

  yeah, I still find that ChatGPT seems to understand the intent better than Copilot. Maybe it's the type of stuff I tend to ask.

    is that not the difference in ease of understanding of answering an explicit question vs guessing at implicit intent?

Yeah, I second what bibabloo said. Sometimes when I want to edit something, I comment out existing thing, and start writing what'd be the new version. Then copilot autocompletes what I have in mind (often enough).
