  > AI hater identified OMG! PLEASE DON'T SHOOT! :hands-up: You suggested to add more AI in order to make it good. I made a joke on top of that old XML joke. https://chrisdone.com/posts/reasoning-violently/ https://chrisdone.com/posts/reasoning-violently/

    The analogy does not apply to the use of CoPilot.

        The "joke" was of context and it does not belong. In fact, you attempted to express your hate AI for no valid reason. Jokes are not excuses to qualify insults which you do repeatedly. A joke does not give you a free license to post hateful comments. Also, do not expect me or anyone to click on your random link.

        I don't hate AI. In fact, I use it and I'm very curious about it. I am skeptical of all the promises but I see some utility. > Jokes are not excuses to qualify insults which you do repeatedly Excuse me? Can you prove this? > to post hateful comments There is absolutely no hate in my comments. > do not expect me or anyone to click on your random link. I don't expect anything. You're a random person on the Internet. You do what you want. Click if you want. It will give you a little more context. Don't click if you don't want.

        GitHub CoPilot just works with you instead of coming in the way. As for achieving 90%, that could happen only in an extremely verbose language with nausea inducing amounts of boilerplate code, e.g. enterprise Java, but CoPilot will chew through it. Using CoPilot actually makes one a better programmer because you learn to always use clear variable names, without which CoPilot cannot do its job. In Python, in-line type annotations also help when defining a variable, again allowing CoPilot to provide better completions. If you think about it, Microsoft is losing substantial amounts of money providing CoPilot. It's quite the public service. I looked through an archive.org mirror of the link.
