I tried to use Copilot but it just kept getting in the way. The advanced autofill was nice sometimes, but its not like i'm making a list of countries or some mock data that often...
As far as generated code... especially with html/css/js frontend code it consistently output extremely inaccessible code. Which is baffling considering how straightforward the MDN, web.dev, and WCAG docs are. (Then again, LLMs cant really understand when an inaccessable pattern is used to demonstrate an
onclick
instead of a semantica
or to explain aria-* attributes...)It was so bad so often that I dont use it much for languages I'm unfamiliar with either. If it puts out garbage where i'm an expert, i dont want to be responsible for it when I have no knowledge.
I might consider trying a LLM thats much more tuned to a single languge or purpose. I don't really see these generalized ones being popular long run, especially once the rose-tinted glasses come off.
