Not really. I’m using Copilot for my job because I’m required to, but I limit it to creating basic scripts that accomplish very specific tasks, which it’s okay at. I never let it touch my actual codebase.
Every experiment I’ve run to test how it does with real code from a large, production application has failed miserably. It introduces mocks, it duplicates stuff everywhere, it fakes shit when real APIs are available… I have no fucking idea how these “AI” companies have managed to convince so many businesses that producing catastrophically shitty code very quickly is a good thing.

Required by higher-ups? How does that work? “Use the hallucination machine or you’ll be fired”?
Basically. “Integrate AI into your workload starting now, or we’ll replace you with someone who will”.
