I get a lot of value out of Copilot and GPT4 for coding, but that's about it.
It's true that have to wrestle a lot with them to get them to do what I want for more complex tasks... so they are great for certain tasks and terrible for others, but when I'm in Xcode, I dearly miss vscode because of Copilot autocomplete, which I guess is an indication that it adds some value
One unexpected synergy has been how good GPT4 is at explaining why my rust code is so bad, thanks to the very verbose compiler messages and availability of high quality training data (i.e. the great rust code in the wild)—despite GPT4 not always being great at writing new rust code from a blank file.
Part of me thinks in the future this loop is going to be a bit more automated, with an LLM in the mix... similar to how LSPs are "obvious" and ubiquitous these days
On an unrelated note, I also wrote a small python script for translating my Xcode project's localizable strings into ~10 different languages with some carefully constructed instructions and error checking (basically some simple JSON validation before OpenAI offered JSON as a response type). I only speak ~2 of the target languages, and only 1 natively, but from a quick review the translations seemed mostly fine. Definitely a solid starting point
