ChatGPT is far superior to Github Chat at the moment. I can give the same prompt to both, with no other context, and GPT produces a far more correct answer generally. Iterating on what it produces is also a major shortcoming at the moment for got Github Chat. Also, regarding the 'non programming questions', I've had it erroneously flag programming questions as non-programming questions. Quite annoying.
They cheaped out on the underlying model and gave it no reasoning enhancements. These are day zero features that didnt need till a "beta" to be added. Incredible trolling by the devs...
Github Chat feels like a huge downgrade compared to ChatGPT. One of the things that bugs the most (and what I like about ChatGPT) is that it doesn't seem to understand context in follow up questions. When I ask it do something and then ask it to refine the output, it threats the follow up question as a new separate question and responds with unrelated nonsense
I treat it as a teenage boy that has the internet at his fingertips but close to no wisdom at all. I find i spend more time telling it the code it provided won't work than actually getting good code out of it.
Heh, in some cases I think this is very true. It's knowing where to use it. I guess that a lot of the time right now that probably is gruntwork. I've also used it to refactor some fairly gnarly typescript.
Most important for me is how good it is to generate unit tests. Also how about an integration test?

ChatGPT will do the same with longer conversations too.
@@IanWootten Yes, but copilot chat ALWAYS does this, even if it's in the next question. There is no comparison.
Not a fan so far, it's still more efficient for me to copy and paste my code to gpt4
