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.

I think co-pilot works better because it has the context of the whole project for reference when suggesting auto completion. I've gotten a lot of unusable junk from it too though

It can go from great to absolute junk.

But sometimes I need some weird terminal command and it’s weirdly good at it.

Also I get a buddy that can put log messages like “AAAAAAAA” all over the place so at least I don’t go crazy on my own
