Game Over… Github Copilot X Announced
The Code Report discusses the latest coding tool, GitHub Copilot X, powered by GPT-4, an advanced coding assistant that will revolutionize the programming industry. This advanced tool is like anabolic steroids for coders, and developers using this tool will have a significant advantage. With this tool, developers can highlight blocks of code and ask the AI to refactor or generate unit tests. Moreover, it can generate documentation based on a specific library's documentation and integrate the docs for React, Azure, and MDN. Notably, with voice-activated Copilot, it becomes possible to control VS code and write code entirely from voice commands, replacing the need to be an extremely fast typist who can churn out 150 words per minute in Vim. Copilot for Pull Requests generates descriptions based on the changes made to the code, while the Copilot CLI generates commands along with an explanation. The tool is currently in technical preview and will make programming faster and more efficient when released publicly.
It is March 23, 2023, and you are watching the latest report from The Code Report. The big news is that GitHub has announced Copilot X, their next-generation coding assistant powered by GPT-4. The AI tools used by developers are being compared to anabolic steroids - giving those who use them a huge advantage when it comes to coding. As someone who loves to code or is currently learning, it might seem pessimistic right now with the thought that all of our open source code, Stack Overflow answers, and tutorials have been used to build large language models that are now being aggressively deployed to automate white-collar jobs. But personally, programming is not dead, and it is a great time to be alive if you love building things.
