@cachondo Actually, it's not, I use GitHub Copilot extensively and it helps me with lots of boilerplate code. I wish it was smarter though, but I'm sure it will come. I do have one small problem with it though for some reason: when it says "Next edit suggestion", it doesn't tell me the whole code of the next suggestion, unlike with the first suggestion it has. I'd like to see where its development goes, actually.

@menelion oh I'm not objecting to it in the least! I use it, too.
It was just the framing of the title that pulled my string.
we're already seen as so helpless as blind people, the cruch-level input of the LLM was my problem, not in any way its promotion per se.

@cachondo @menelion As someone who is nobody's idea of a programmer, I don't use copilot admittedly but I do use AI in-general to help me with bash scripting etc. Two of the most useful are running on my Raspberry Pi's and though searching for code snippets could have aided me I suspect, having an AI write the code out for my specific usecase meant that I could look at each line and understand why something does what it does.
There is legitimately a lot of AI hate but on the other side of the coin, a lot of good uses for it.
Tailor-made scripts which might be childsplay for some of you, aren't things I think about or know how to do, so AI has been super-useful in making my wishes a reality. Nothing overcomplicated or anything, but useful none the less.

@FreakyFwoof @cachondo @menelion If not a secret, what do you use your Raspberry Pie for?
