In my experience it depends a lot more on what you prompt it with rather than the language itself. As soon as you task it with something where your prompt doesn’t hit the right marks, I’ll go into its “inventive” mode and simply make stuff up. Copilot for enterprise is a little better in terms of not making things up, but the flip side of this is that it often simply provides a very, very, useless result.
My experience with it for Powershell hasn’t been as impressive as yours. It simply invented functions for the PnP module. Which I suppose isn’t in too much use these days, especially not against on-prem SharePoint. I’m not an expert on Powershell, however, and I really don’t think the documentation on things like PnP search queries is very good. So this was an area where I got to experience what it’s like to use these tools when you’re not the expert. In the end it was trial and error along with various shitty internet articles that helped me.
That being said. You can easily have GPT4 solve your CS exam questions, and likely whatever technical interview you’re given if you’re applying at jobs which do these things. And as such, I guess you could also argue that a lot of what we teach in CS is now even more dated than before. Because even if some of it is sort of useful for basic understanding, I’d bet money on students “cheating” their way through where they can. Because why wouldn’t they use the “calculator”?
