My 24 hour experiment with copilot is over.

My 24 hour experiment with copilot is over. It does suggest some interesting completions but I spend too much mental energy seeing if it's right and it's a UI/hover mess that's too distracting.
I'm back to being 100% AI free.
That said, VSCode is a good c++ IDE, much better then I thought. Not as good as Xcode, but very workable. The thing I was looking for was break-points and stepping into code and it does it.

@grumpygamer to be fair. Copilot is the worst of the bunch

@grumpygamer I've tried using Copilot with Python, as it's "encouraged" in my workplace, but as you've found, it keeps producing generic and boring code that is *almost* right but needs proof-reading.
Just for "fun" I asked it to produce some code to print out all primes from 0 to an input number. It made code that worked, but was slow. After I'd tweaked it, it ran about ten times faster for primes up to 10000. I don't think I'll keep using it somehow...

@grumpygamer It's technically another IDE suggestion, but VSCodium is the non-proprietary parts of VSCode (similar to running Chromium in lieu of Chrome). You can point it to the normal Microsoft marketplace trivially.
I think it would not have any of the A"I" features in it
