A lot of the code it generates is trivial, or 1-2 lines of code that's obvious, at least for me. In which case, it makes no sense to modify it. I have a feeling

A lot of the code it generates is trivial, or 1-2 lines of code that's obvious, at least for me. In which case, it makes no sense to modify it. I have a feeling this is the bulk of it.
- pirate787 4y agoThis is my experience as well. For longer code, Copilot introduces errors through making up variables and method names that don't actually exist on the object. These errors are very annoying but only 5% of the generated code.
- halfjoking 4y agoI tried Copilot last month and canceled my subscription because of all the small errors in generated functions. It was more painful to debug than write it myself. Maybe I should have lowered expectations and thought of it as improved code complete. I got spoiled by copy/pasting from ChatGPT. As it stands now I'd rather pay for a subscription to have the latest ChatGPT than for Copilot.
- shmoogy 4y agoI feel like it has been getting worse for me in the past few months. I will write a comment and it will autocomplete - but have something wrong - almost like using chatGPT to try to generate code. Mostly right - but not quite. Things it would have gotten in the past. Maybe it's just me.
