Two years ago I didn't use AI at all. Now I wouldn't go without it; I have Copilot integrated with Emacs, VSCode, and Rider. I consider it a ground-breaking productivity accelerator, a leap similar to when I transitioned from Turbo Pascal 2 to Visual C 6.

That's why I'm hyped. If it's that good for me, and it's generalizable, then it's going to rock the world.

Life longer programmer, and same sentiments, I use it everywhere I can.

I am currently transliterating a language PDF into a formatted lexicon, I wouldn't even be able to do this without co-pilot, it has turned this seemingly impossibly arduous task into a pleasurable one.

Coding on something without copilot these days feels like having my hands tied. I'm looking at you, XCode and Colab...
