Limitations and The Good Things about Github Copilot

I have been trying to generate code with the help of GPT3 from few months now and recently got access to a better product called Github copilot.

Github Copilot is an VS Code extension which can autocomplete your code and also synthesize code by seeing your comments and function name. This is built using the same model and trained on billions of public code.

This was funny but I wanted to try it out and the results were mind blowing. AI could solve most of the DSA problems and I have shared some results here .

Later I tried using github copilot in some real development work like writing email validation , making api calls to github and even building a simple email sending client.

Before moving on to the article if you prefer videos over an article, Here is my video on Solving DSA Problems using Github Copilot

When building a project I had forgot status code for what response to send and writing a comment about it gave me a result. Also I had written python after long time and at one point I had forgot the syntax for slicing and this helped me there aswell.
