[@ruxcooking]

Love how copilot was like "hey I'm still here you know"

[@torarinvik4920]

This is amazing. When they perfect this stuff, let you have a text window on the side of your screen as well as an image window where they can show image of altered versions of your screen or even video. So instead of just being agentic it can guide you through making stuff using image/video, text and voice as well as perform actions when needed.

[@benjamink8448]

3:50 LMAO "It seems Copilot is suggesting the next line of code based on what *I* said"

[@theperfguy]

Maybe it can start typing instead of dictating. While its writing the code, you can talk to it and ask for changes or show the problems with the code. The difference from copilot (that i would like) would be that the agent can run the code and figure out that the code was wrong and iterate to fix it, rather than waiting for you to try the code and then manually ask for changes based on the errors you receive. While writing code and unit test is also possible, i want the code to write QA test cases or something like Cucumber BDD test cases. That would actually reduce work required for Dev/QA, once the code is done the unit test, security test, QA tests all can be generated and run.

[@andyhorne9747]

Yeah, I tried using it to generate a web page and it was too painful - "less than doc greater than type less than" etc

backquote = ``` as in: ``` code ```

[@AshutoshKumardevx]

[@denizorsel1029]

It would ve been hilarious if it responded like ' No, I didn't say backquote. You said it. Why do you keep on saying backquote? '

[@Algoritmik]

Backquote is used to mark the start end end of the code in the training documents. Like this `print(name)`. That's why.

[@jessequartey]

The core model generates markdown text and then it is read by voice. and the backquote is what is used to denote a code block. so the voice is only reading the text generated. so backquote would be mentioned anytime it's reading a codeblock.

And Meta has 3 woth 0ver a billion people each. 😂😂 The Others don't even have 500 million users in total . 😂😂

I feel like you should have tried it without github copilot enabled in your vs code, the machine vision may be contrast based and so it may not be able to accurately tell if what it is seeing on your screen is the suggestion from copilot or if its code you "suddenly" written
