It already uses the docs and API references

I typically visit stack overflow when encountering edge cases and bugs not covered by the documentation.

If it has learned from the source code you'd be surprised how good it is at that as well.

For docs it's better, for other stuff it's way worse than a human.

It's a shame so much stuff is locked up in discord these days.

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

yeah, discord the the true black hole of information

[–] iii@mander.xyz 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do you mean trained on the source code, or having the source code in context?

[–] GetOffMyLan@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

Trained on the source code.

Yeah could also clone the repo and use copilot against it.

But who writes the docs now

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Ha! I have an AI for that! Gotcha!

...

On, but the AI trains now on other docs that I used an AI to write...

...

Oh shit...
