People have been talking about things like ChatGPT Doing code, but I just realized... something like ChatGPT could be incorporated right into your IDE.

Think Clippy, for Code... "I see you're trying to write a recursive function to compute finocacci. Would you like help?"

Or Code Reviews / Static-Code-Analysis: "Hey Visual Studio. I've written a RESTful API for my application. What do you think of the approach, architecture, and adherence to best practices? What can I do to improve it?"

Or instead of scratching your head going "why doesn't this work?", just typing that question directly into your IDE....

This is kind of like Copilot inside of VSCode right now.
That’s just Copilot.

But it does appear that we are all doomed to spend our lives with assigned clippai’s

Dystopia. Dystopai?
