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.
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.
ChatGPT is amazing for describing what you want, getting a reasonable output, and then rewriting nearly the whole thing to fit your needs. It’s a faster (shittier) stack overflow.
I normally have it output toy examples of the syntax I don’t want to bother learning and then remix that into what I need. IMO it’s better than stackoverflow because stackoverflow code is more likely to be not really what you were searching for or not actually run because the author didn’t bother testing it and there’s a typo or something.

Co-pilot isn’t using the same model. They’re using a model that’s been trained on a LOT of open-source code.
Alot of “open” source code ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
is the model open source?

Maybe same model but differnt data

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