    Maybe it’s because I’m only using it as plan B or C (after the documentation has already failed me), but I have never gotten any usable code out of chatGPT.

    And yet co-pilot is able to finish my code perfectly after I type the first few characters… even though they’re the same model.

      I think co-pilot works better because it has the context of the whole project for reference when suggesting auto completion. I’ve gotten a lot of unusable junk from it too though

      Co-pilot isn’t using the same model. They’re using a model that’s been trained on a LOT of open-source code.

          Not that I’m aware of. Even if the input is public data, the actual training scripts and resulting model tend to be closed-source. Meta’s one of the only major companies I know of to release their models under a somewhat-open-source license.

      I go the other way with it. Give me something broken but close and I’ll use the documentation to fix it.
