As a software engineer, I tried this one as well.

The harsh truth is that we often run to ai to fix our problems these days.

And doing art which writing in our case, it sucks. Sounds artificial no values in sentences.

And in my experience, I just give it to polish, since my English is not my native language, to fix grammar.

„Fix grammar and vocabulary mistakes“ is the best prompt :D

The other day, I was trying to resolve an issue in a react project of a friend of mine.

Got stuck at a long answer and a short advice which didn’t change anything.

Copilot said change file to version b so I did but then it asserted I hadn’t done what I did.

I am ND so it got me either touch grass first or delete the whole fork 😁

I see that you work a lot with C#. But is it still Copilot worth a shot? I thought folks are moving away from it 😁

Moving away from AI itself carefully might be an option.

It can do good things but also easily enter such a bad loop so we better stay on the ground.

Any AI can have this effect.

However, my impression was that Gemini was the worst coding assistant.

IntelliSense is quite good as a fast suggestion tool to click, look and fix.
