I find that hard to believe. Thousands of people? 90 %? I wish I could get so much help from a LLM. I’m a heavy GPT-4 and Copilot user, it explains new stuff to me, spits out configs and command line arguments, sometimes code snippets, but it utterly fails at any actual engineering tasks. Like, I work on document automation, most of my job is about evaluating changes to documents, efficiently resolving the side effects, transforming from the internal format to HTML, stuff like that. Copilot, even with its IDE integration, is rarely super helpful, it often just doesn’t understand what I’m trying to do, and it doesn’t help with architecture at all. There’s not enough “thinking” going on yet.
