AI != chatGPT
There are other ML models out there for all kinds of purposes. I heard someone made one at one point that could detect certain types of cancer from a cough
Copilot is pretty useful when programming as it is basically like what IDEs normally do (automatically generating boilerplate) but supercharged
As far as generating code is concerned it's never going to beat actually knowing what you're doing in a language for more complex stuff but it allows you to generate code for languages you're not familiar with
I use it all the time at work when I'm asked to write DAX because it's not particularly complex logic but the syntax makes me want to impale my face with a screwdriver
This is a good point. LLMs are the current big thing, but a few years ago it was convolutional nets for image processing. It might be something totally different in another few.
