I haven’t used it often, but the few times I have asked it very specific programming questions, it has usually been pretty good. For example, I am not very good with regex, but I can usually ask Copilot to create regex that does something like verifying a string matches a certain pattern, and it performs pretty well. I don’t use regex enough to spend a lot of time learning it, and I could easily find a few examples online that can be combined to make my answer, but Copilot is much quicker and easier for me. That said, I don’t think I would trust it past answering questions about how to implement a small code snippet.

AI models are so broken. They are wrong most of the time in my experience. This meme is accurate for most intelligent people.

For those of you confused… Don’t worry about it. Just understand your being blatantly lied to by a computer more often than you know.

I tried asking OpenAI what the name of a song is, based on some lyrics I barely remember. It’s a song whose name has escaped me for about 15 years. Anyways, when it wasn’t just straight up lying about song names or their lyrics, it would not stop guessing the same song names, even after I told it to stop, several times.

Needless to say, I still don’t know the song name.
