let me hit you with some facts if AI is a statistical model which it is it has this ability to effectively gather some distribution now it may be some alpha beta distribution it may be some normal distribution but it's able to say hey your words coming in typically produce this output and so this is the one I'm going to grab for you okay now here's the problem the middle input for programming is horeshit code because unfortunately the code distribution looks like this where this is shitty code which is also most of the code this is good code which is also not that much of the code so you're G to get a whole bunch of this and I cannot tell you how much errors I've had to experience using co-pilot it's why I dropped it I just got tired of all like all these little Insidious bugs that happen due to co-pilot
