Reply to comment by Cryptizard in If you believe you can think exponentially, you might be wrong. Transformative AI is here, and it is going to radically change the world before the Singularity, and before AGI. by AdditionalPizza

Nobody in your Computer Science department has HEARD OF COPILOT?

Sorry but what? This is either untrue or you need to get out of that department right now.

I'm a truck driver who dabbles in side coding projects and I know what CoPilot is.

How can somebody even casually interested in coding, AI, and technology not know?

Because it’s not that great. It’s a parlor trick. It’s kind of helpful at reminding you which function to call in an API that you haven’t used in a while, but more than 1-2 lines of code and it has tons of errors you have to fix. Half the time it ends up being slower than programming manually because you have to really carefully read the code it generates to make sure it didn’t do something stupid.
