An anonymous reader shares a report: Australia's Department of the Treasury has found that Microsoft's Copilot can easily deliver return on investment, but staff exposed to the AI assistant came away from the experience less confident it will help them at work.
The Department conducted a 14-week t...
Early co-pilot (before chatgpt) was pretty decent. You typed in a comment what you wanted to do and you could cycle through code examples easily. While it wasn’t 100% accurate, it was close enough to get you what you needed and took care of the annoying work.
As soon as ChatGPT got integrated, shit went downhill fast and I uninstalled it. It was a night and day difference.
You’re thinking github copilot while the article is about Microsoft copilot, which is a completely different product. Of course, confusion is completely understandable and their naming is almost as bad as their operating system.
Copilot is one of two LLMs I’ve briefly tried. It was noticeably better than Gemini was at the time, but still seemed entirely pointless. Nothing it (or Gemini) offered to do were things I wanted help with. I enjoy research and writing, so why would I outsource those things and burn down an acre of rainforest in the process?
I can think of a bunch of other things that Google should be embarrassed about, but Gemini is uniquely humiliating because of how proud they are of it and how hard they are pushing it.
I’ve used co-pilot too: Not impressed. AI is largely unreliable garbage, at least at the moment.

Wait those are distinct?! Holy shit. And since Microsoft owns GitHub, that’s even less clear. Unbelievable.

Gemini is fucking abysmal, Google should be embarrassed.
