Github Copilot is a dumb little shitstain

For the past years I've been trying to periodically give a go to various copilots every time they made an announcement like "our next version will replace programmers, it will make singularity look like child toys"

Unfortunately and unpleasantly, in 2025 copilot is the dumbest shit ever and even junior coworkers can produce better code.

I can make it do only bovine code like class mapping and simpleton tasks.

Delusional

    @jestdotty if the ai learns from it's input, does that mean if you interact with it and it gets dumber..

    Nvm.. I won't go there..

    It looks like people (normies) aren't praising it to high jesus any more and becoming disillusioned. And I think that's causing a recovery in the dev industry, but I haven't looked at the numbers.

    @jestdotty If the AI learns from its self, it will start to degrade

    @retoor unfortunately copilot has learned the patterns from works client's shit repos any recommendations or “just switch?”

    @retoor Sure, I guess if you were in a corporate env it would probably be perfect since it keeps a consistent style, but these repos were made by “cheap” contractors, and I'm a contractor coming to fix it (aka I touch a lot of different code styles). I wish I could limit it what it can learn from, since it also infects cross language.

    I'll try codeium again, last time I used it was a lot worse than copilot (~2 years ago or however long copilot was announced)

    @BordedDev don't that shit snoops your code and send it to them?

    Not nice

    @IHateFrameworks You can opt out, I use the companies' license

    @retoor I'll let you know, preference of how long? (since it needs to “warm up”) That's also why I mentioned how long ago it was

    @retoor Probably because it's like peer coding, one who gets smarter. And can show where certain issues are, had it find some kinda obvious bugs when telling it to generate tests for my v0.1 work
