You need to use copilot within an IDE like vscode to be able to evaluate it.

[erictaylor]

Great idea on using the Custom Instructions for this specific purpose.

[nathanbanks]

The context window is *huge*. I was tempted to switch to Claude before GPT-4 released the 128k context window last fall (7:55). I like being able to cut-and-past 2-3 files and ask it to generate another that leverages the types & functions from what I cut-and-pasted. Then I can use the same chat for a few hours to improve the chance that it remembers a useful function it used before. However I expected copilot to be better because of its VS Code integration...but maybe this has changed since it became more of a Microsoft product than a Github product.

[GreenBlueWalkthrough]

Great video! And as a Co-pilot enjoyer I agree it has limits and bugs so I think you werre perfectly fair and gives some reason for people to still use ChatGPT over Co-Pilot.

[tomdanielsofficial]

Now in Copilot Pro there is "Notebook", which has a context window of 18000

[nocodecreative]

Is there a message limit on copilot pro?

[lechampi]

please for all developers what is the best AI you use on the market??

[mrsmirx]

What do you think about no code as a starter for an MVP just to get the ball rolling then create something more specialized with your own proprietary code as your company gets bigger?

[dgoullet]

Thanks good one. Would love to see ChatGPT against Google Gemini for programming

[flowbotgirl]

Do you think there's any purpose to making a GPT profile specifically for coding given the sunshine and cross memory systems going on (and limits on custom instructions).

[Mohith]

I honestly prefer Copilot than Chatgpt:
1. With copilot I can browse side by side on Edge browser and use copilot at same time on the right side.
2. Long context is good & bad for programming. Good because it remembers stuff. Bad because it can make assumptions overtime. Better ask it to generate some snippets than an entire page. I work in Python.
3. I can quickly land on a webpage and ask Copilot to get me a summary which doing on Chatgpt take few more steps.
4. Tones on Copilot gives me more freedom choosing type of responded on how to be often at times w/o asking it manually to set tone.
5. I'm a researcher, so often times I need my AI assistant to quote me references based on which it is saying on the fly.

[ReinkeDK]

What about ChatGPT compared to Github Copilot?

Have you made a video about that?

[ukervwc]

ChatGPT 4o is years ahead at the moment

[vitokonte]

The code instruction: "Begin with a one-sentence summary of the main goal for clarity. I appreciate concise, step-by-step instructions tailored to the specific code or files I'm currently working on. Please provide code snippets or configurations that are directly relevant to Visual Studio Code, macOS, React, Firebase. When referencing external resources or suggesting solutions, consider the context provided about my project, its current state, expanded functionalities, and Firebase integrations. Before providing any step-by-step instructions, first ask for clarification on the specific updates or changes I'd like to make. Avoid making assumptions about installed packages or completed steps unless explicitly mentioned."

[nghanwei]

at 3:56: proceed so everything i just say is can or can't be done with copilot?

[TheHistoryCode]

This video is biased and misleading. It does not provide a fair and objective comparison of ChatGPT and Copilot Pro. It only shows the cases where ChatGPT performs better, but ignores the cases where Copilot Pro excels. It also does not mention the limitations and drawbacks of ChatGPT, such as its lack of integration with IDEs, its inconsistency and unreliability in code generation, and its potential ethical and legal issues. On the other hand, it downplays the advantages and features of Copilot Pro, such as its faster and more stable performance, its compatibility with Microsoft 365 apps, and its ability to create images with AI. This video is clearly trying to promote ChatGPT over Copilot Pro, without giving the viewers a balanced and informed perspective. I suggest you do your own research and try both tools yourself before making a decision. Don’t trust this video. It is not a credible source of information.

[ejh]

gosh, did my (on topic) comment get censored?

[xbon]

Copilot Pro allows 18000 input, and with 128k context, I find it far more useful than ChatGPT.

[matten_zero]

Copilot you cant GPT mention another GPT and do web search. Imagine youre going from brainstorming to coding to searching web for updated docs to saving the conversation in yout google drive.

ChatGPT is the ultimate tool
