> I am honestly flabbergasted they think it's worth 10$/mo
These two statments seem contradictory to me. Why are you using it 'non-stop' if it isn't even worth $10/month?
But slowly enough many jobs are being automated, both with and without machine learning or whatever technique they are calling "AI" today.
> The biggest problem I've had is not that it doesn't write correctly, it's that it think it knows how and then produce good looking code at a glance but with wrong logic.
I cannot rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that would provoke such a statement.
EDIT: upon careful rereading, I think I misunderstood. The intended meaning is likely closer to: the problem is less so that codepilot produces incorrect code and more so that its incorrect code appears correct at first glance.
You have my sincerest apologies. I leave this thread intact as a testament to my hair-trigger snark.
You would expect that from a program that copies a database of all the examples in the world (or whatever) and then just does an autocomplete without any kind of comprehension of what the problem is that is trying to be solved.
No confusion or contradiction at all.
> it produces code that is correct in some circumstances, but is incorrect for the author's use case.
That’s a mighty convoluted way of saying “incorrect code” ;)
Phew! I feel better, now!
I wouldn't use it for anything other than that, so I would say it's worth honestly at max $1/month.
Some companies seem to be leaning into higher subscription pricing (Superhuman and Motion come to mind) and almost certainly produce far more value than their subscriptions cost if you ask me, but there's definitely a mental barrier to value based pricing to consumers, as well as the fact that with so many companies offering cheap/free software, the market isn't solely determined by value created but rather comparison against other software.
Most of the things it does for me I could replace with a library of snippets if I could be bothered to set one up.
Not really worth a monthly cost equivalent to, say, Disney+ - which I use tens of hours every month just by myself.
If my employer paid for it, I wouldn't scoff at it, but I'm not paying a cent of my own money for it.
I would consider it contradictory if they decided to continue using it while paying that price and unsatisfied
It's a trial run and the value isn't there for them
