AI will now write code for you using GitHub Copilot for Visual Studio Code

This reminds me of the universal constructor, it be interesting to see how accurate this AI becomes. I should imagine it will useful for generating boilerplate code or spotting common programming pitfalls. I doubt that software engineering roles will entirely disappear but it might help to "cull" the field somewhat. I'm certainly not claiming to be a brilliant developer, however, there does appear to be some really awful code out there written by senior developers.
 
It's like other things "auto", they work but not very well. For instance, the Da Vinci surgical apparatus still, needs a surgeon.

Until we figure out the speed of light limit, we are stuck. It would take the aggregated power of faster than light computation to really get close to perfection.

Even photons have resistance and..... Resistance is futile... :-)

Sorry, almost went on a Star Trek tangent.
:rolleyes:
 
Well, from the reports I've seen on social media and some programming blogs, it seems that Copilot has been suggesting either deprecated libraries or code with vulnerabilities?! It says something about some of the repositories on GitHub. Hopefully the AI will "learn" will more training data and these issues will subside with time.

Borg are certainly the best antagonists in my opinion!
