I think copilot has gotten worse too. I thought it was just me but it used to suggest what I wanted a lot of the time and now it’s giving me a bunch of nonsense.

That sucks.. I haven’t used Copilot yet.

i’ve never wanted to sign up to anything, so i’ve just been using phind(dot)com

essentially it acts as a better, more tailored search engine for me, pretty much assisted in helping me setup my rpi4 bitcoin core node “the hard way” (i.e. completely over SSH using Ubuntu Core)

i’ve been getting it to explain to me what all the different parameters in the bitcoin.conf that people tell you to set in their guides, are actually doing

but when something doesn’t make clear / direct sense i’m almost always googling it to confirm (i.e. doing a bit of my own research to double check)

for me, it’s just a waaaaay better search engine essentially

Copilot really shines when your are using a language you aren’t that familiar with or for boilerplate code which is really common in enterprise settings.
