Twice now I’ve experienced the fallout of bugs in my coworkers code and when I looked into it the bug was introduced by Copilot.

Think about that for a second.

I’m trying to accept that everyone I talk to at work about these systems (I won’t dignify them by using the term “intelligence”) ignores my warnings and treats me like a fool for refusing to use them, but now I have to clean up the mess others make by trusting these things.

This isn’t sustainable.

@requiem It seems to me like you are looking at it from the wrong point of view. I am sure you have found many other human-introduced bugs as well, and have also found good code written with the aid of Copilot. The problem is not Copilot (which works well in many cases), it is people misusing it and trusting the code without actually checking (or not being able to check) that it works.
