Do you also have Github Copilot Chat installed? There are two separate extensions right?

I am working on some of the big web application projects, Writing all code for frontend and just doing backend with chatgpt, But still i have to decide about the logics and everything then the GPT able to create a code. But its great, time saving for repeat tasks etc.

It's not A.I. but a search engine in your compiler. Often, it starts adding things to your code which are rubbish and not correct. It takes me some time to remove them. But in 25% of the cases, I can use big parts of what is typed by Copilot. In the end, software designers are not needed but I think this technology will still need 50 years to develop. Most ugly is the skull who is looking at me, not my favourite icon.
