GitHub tells developers to look elsewhere before using new Copilot feature
Original: GitHub’s advice for its new Copilot feature is to try something else first
GitHub is drawing attention for guidance attached to its latest Copilot feature, which reportedly advises developers to try other approaches before relying on it. The recommendation has sparked discussion among developers about how confident GitHub is in the tool's reliability, and what it says about the current limits of AI coding assistants.
Why now: It is unusual for a company to publicly counsel users against depending on its own new product feature.
