You're telling me you've never once pressed "TAB" to auto-fill the line or even several lines with Copilot? Because about half of the letters in my source code is now Copilot generated.

The value added is that you don't send your source code to OpenAI and/or their parent org Microsoft.

I do it all of the time (with GitHub copilot). It's getting much better. If I retro my interactions with it, I think I'll usually give it a "once over" to see if what it's doing makes sense. Sometimes I'll add a comment to my PR saying what AI did/didn't write to give the reviewer a heads up.

I mostly use it for the generation of doc strings in python and js doc in typescript.

Recently I've been using git diff and asking 3.5 to write the PR description for me and so far it is doing quite well. The 16k tokens means I can feed even more into it.

This would be a great pre-commit hook! Generate commit message and fill .commit_msg for review/further editing.

Microsoft has owned GitHub since 2018.

I think the GP meant the value added by Superblocks?
