GitHub Copilot is GPT-3 under the hood, so maybe that way?
1 comments

I use copilot, but not for this. I find raw gpt-3 conversational interface to be much more useful for getting over various small programming puzzles.
Prompted correctly, I find that Copilot can do pretty much everything GPT-3 can except generating long-form prose.

You're probably right that it's more flexible, but then again I don't want to constantly switch out of IDEA.

I think we need work in conversational interfaces into IDEs. Tab-completion is insufficient
