I have actually come to prefer using AI instead of a search engine at work for most things sysadmin related (using DuckDuckGo’s AI chat feature), but I 100% have found that Copilot performs far worse than competing products. Having it that engrained in the computer is a very negative feature, despite the battery improvements.

Copilot sucks. Gemeni is a sassy teenager. Chatgpt 4o is actually halfway decent. When they announced Gemeni had a million context tokens, that was awesome. But it can't give coherent output to save its life. Useless.

"Chatgpt 4o is actually halfway decent."

I think I need to redo my parameters cuz you aren't the first person I've seen say this. I wasconvinced it got dumber lol

It got worse. We adapted parameters to try to compensate. You didn't do anything wrong. You've just not yet implemented continuous improvement.

Any recommendations for where to start for improving it's efficiency?

Perplexity.ai is also pretty nice. As far as I understand, it's just some version of chatgpt but with the ability to search the web.

The Copilot in Windows and in Bing is quite bad, but the Github Copilot seems better. If you know of a clearly better one for programming I'm interested in trying things out.
