¬ just serendipity 🍀 (not just serendipity)

(via David Krider):

That’s the thing I find about CoPilot and ChatGPT so far: They have quick answers and suggestions for every line as I’m typing, and half of everything that looks right at first glance turns out to be wrong. I actually started to argue with CoPilot after fruitlessly trying to use it to track down a bug for a half hour. What I am doing with my life?

Welcome to the club :D

Silencing CoPilot sometimes helps. Update vscode/settings.json (Cmd + , on macOS) according to your needs:

"github.copilot.editor.enableAutoCompletions": true,
"github.copilot.enable": {
    "*": true,
    "plaintext": false,
    "markdown": false,
}

The common wisdom of the crowds so far is to treat LLMs like “eager interns”, and/or “helpful boilerplate / scaffolding tools”. Always double-check.
