I just tested copilot and was pretty impressed.

ChatGPT ,it is very cooool and 3.5 is free

Not the biggest fan, autocomplete sometimes is cool but it often gets in the way of the IDE suggestions, while chatting with the copilot to ask for code is mostly a waste of time as the code it's usually outdated

@slimmy82 Not sure about it, I believe it depends on the use case. In my experience, it's ok if I write the code and ask it to find mistakes or possible blindspots in my logic, but writing the logic itself often requires not only knowledge of the task at hand, but also on the surrounding business model. Not sure we will see a proper copilot any time soon.
@misterocean I see what you mean. I’m not a coder so don’t really know. I know HTML basics lol. Definitely hard to code if you don’t know the logic like you said and what you’re fully trying to accomplish

I am using ChatGPT 4. So far I had no reason to test Copilot.

@rulik_tech are you using it for coding?
Peter Puhov
@sarvpriy_arya Yes, I use it for quickly prototyping small functions. It turns out to be faster than reading documentation. It's less accurate, sure, but much quicker. Sometimes, it also suggests ideas that I hadn't thought about. Another use case for me is passing very long and complex PyTorch errors to it. It then describes the error and suggests how to fix it. There's about an 80% chance it will produce a functional solution.

Microsoft Copilot is best
@m_anees what do you like most about it?
Sarvpriy Arya
@m_anees best for what? Coding or blog writing?

Copilot performs better in practical applications, while ChatGPT has more powerful features and more timely updates.
@jessica_herman2 I definitely got some good responses from copilot. I’m going to use same prompts and see what happens

@andrew_noah me too. But was just intrigued with copilot so tested it. Will be interesting what happens in time

I haven't tried Co pilot right now. What are the major differences ???
@mansi_trivedi1 I haven’t explored it fully but I’m excited for it to merge with Microsoft office, particularly excel! The basic prompts I asked it where pretty good

Both Copilot by Microsoft and ChatGPT by OpenAI are impressive tools in their own right. Copilot, with its ability to assist with code and provide helpful suggestions, is a great asset for developers. On the other hand, ChatGPT is excellent for generating human-like text and assisting with various language tasks. Personally, I find ChatGPT to be more versatile for my needs as a product hunt master. It helps me craft compelling product descriptions, generate engaging social media content, and even assists in drafting persuasive emails to potential partners. However, I can see the appeal of Copilot for developers and coders who need quick and accurate code suggestions. It's always exciting to see how AI is enhancing different fields. In the end, both tools have their unique strengths, and it's wonderful to see the advancements in AI technology that benefit various professionals. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Co-pilot - I felt it is better, especially for my use case, i.e., content creation

I just downloaded Copilot to give it a try. Being a heavy user of ChatGPT, really curious to know how Microsoft will beat the competition.

Have you ever tried Claude, I love it and use it as much as ChatGPT. Which Copilot are you referring to Slim, the Baidu one, the Microsoft one, or the Perplexity one? Sorry I am getting lost in Copilots lol
@reconcatlord I was referring to Microsoft copilot. Never heard of Claude. Will look it up. Thanks for suggestion Nick
Nick
@slimmy82 I have to try it out, I was hoping it would be good for using Microsoft Office/365 products. And yes, Claude is made by Anthropic, and I find it to be awesome, It has some great capabilities. 200k token limit, which is really high. Give it a try
Nick
@sarvpriy_arya Yes I found it to be really good at analyzing complex texts and problems and giving very eloquent simple explanations of them.

ChatGPT, Copilot's finetuning seems to be not as well trained or tuned as ChatGPT specifically GPT 4
Lunar
Cursor.sh better option
@thtslunar really? Have never heard of it

For me, ChatGPT is the best

Still OpenAI is a way ahead but hopefully Microsoft & Google will catch up a bit in near future.

I like and still using chatGPT due to my experience.
@iqra_naseem have you tested copilot?
