    Meh. You can literally just use Copilot as an enhanced autocomplete, not using it in place of your creativity and design, but merely letting it finish your sentences the way you were planning to write them anyway. This is basically how I use it, and it’s a pretty good tool for that purpose.

    One thing I wish there was were more plugins (and maybe I just don’t know of them) for like Kagi’s assistant, or other vendors than just OpenAI for something like CoPilot.

    I don’t use copilot, but I use ChatGPT a lot. Not to write my code, but to talk things through and find solutions to strange behavior or errors. It has been a great resource and I feel it has improved my code overall. It’s just another tool.
