No I'm with you. I don't use copilot though for undirected autocomplete, I use tools that allow me to give instructions and diff the results, Cursor and Aider are my current defaults, both with Claude 3 now[0]. Always looking for alternatives though. I think it's always going to be a YMMV experience with LLMs. I'm an extreme generalist with 23 years of experience so it compliments my strengths and weaknesses. I know how to program across 20 odd languages but most of them I need to look stuff up if I'm not using it frequently enough. Now though, don't really need to look stuff up. For me there are two groups, those that want to use LLMs and are pushing it forward and those that are would prefer that LLMs not exist and want it to be hype that goes away. Having followed the hype cycles of VR/AR and crypto I can feel a difference. Both of those felt like a solution in search of a problem. The true believers wanting it to be something like Ready Player One with VR (fun story, Oculus/Facebook actually handed out copies of the novel at Oculus Connect 2 in 2015). The hype around LLMs seems different; like applying a new solution to all the existing problems to see where it helps, and that's just with the current iteration. [0]: I'd prefer to be using local/open equivalents but the capabilities are still lacking.
