I suspect people who dunk on this haven't actually tried using Copilot / ChatGPT for coding in their workflow in any meaningful way.
For me, I love engineering, and I'm very experienced at it. But I use Copilot/ChatGPT constantly now, every single day, for writing code that I know how to do, but is very "grunt" level code that I'd rather not have to spend time writing.
It's incredibly solid at that! I would not go back to not having this tech. I would happily pay $200+/month for access without blinking. It saves me much more than that in an hourly rate. Not because the code it's writing is hard code that actually would take me hours to write in theory. But because, as a human, I'm going to take a lot longer to write that simple code because I really don't want to have to do it. It's below my pay-grade. I'd rather spend my time on the more interesting / difficult code.
I fully believe this effort will work.

- steine65 4y agoPrompt "write a powershell script to copy a file from one folder to another. Rename the file to 'newfile' and append the date it was copied to the end of the file name" Just an example of 'grunt-level' code that chatgpt can easily handle
