@mauve For languages I know the generators only slow me down. When I don't know the language and I just need a snippet or two I've had some luck getting a generator to suggest a basic strategy and useful syntax but then I end up rewriting it. So, not useless but also not terribly helpful.
@mauve Based on what I've read from others who have tried using copilot to generate code, the problem is that because it's an LLM AI with no actual knowledge of coding practices, it simply sucks ate generating working code if it can't find a known working piece of code to crib from.
