I feel like the goalposts have been moved between your two comments. CoPilot is obviously not producing garbled nonsense, and it's also not just printing the top result from StackOverflow. It is producing code that references my variables, does the right thing 50% of the time, and usually compiles.
One of the nice little things is error messages- when I type `if (!foo) { throw ... ` CoPilot is able to complete a nicely formatted and descriptive error message from its understanding of my code. It's not garbled nonsense, and it's not just a search engine.
Does AI deserve the hype it sometimes gets? Not yet. But I think you're going to have to start digging a little deeper for your commentary.
