> AI products are used ubiquitously to generate code, text, and images, analyze data, automate tasks, enhance online platforms, and much, much, much more—with usage expected only to increase going forward.

Why does every hype article start with this. Personally my copilot usage has gone down while coding. I tried and tried but it always gets lost and starts spitting out subtle bugs that takes me more time to debug than if i had written it myself.

I always have this feeling of 'this might fail in production in unknown ways' because i might have missed checking the code throughly . I know i am not the only one, my coworkers and friends have expressed similar feelings.

I even tried the new 'chain of thought' model, which for some reason seems to be even worse.

This just reminded I forgot I have had a Copilot subscription. It has not made any useful code suggestions in months to the point of fading from my memory. I just logged in to cancel it. Now, I need to check my other subscriptions that I can cancel or reduce to a lower tier.

They have massively nerfed Copilot. I'm keeping my subscription for a couple more months but at this point, it has the same intelligence as the llma3.2 which I can run on my laptop.
