    It is not machine learning and LLM that pisses off Lemmy users. Its the application of said technologies. I don’t give a flying fuck what people are doing with ChatGPT, its novel. I want a generative AI that can help me code.

      I don’t agree. Every time I have tried to point out that GitHub copilot is a helpful tool, the trolls come out of the woodwork to tell me I’m wrong and a shitty developer

        My team or I have not had very much luck with it. We were spending a lot of time picking out bad generated code.

          I have luck with it daily. I wouldn’t want to return to writing code without ever having little shortcuts builtin to my workflow throughout every day. It certainly saves me time and I have some other teammates who agree. Some luddites on the team also, but I don’t let their fear bog me down. I think everyone who is strictly against copilot actually has failed to ever try it
