doesn't feel like to me. I try using copilot on my scala projects and it always comes up with something useless that doesn't even compile.

I am currently just using it as easy google search.

Have you tried copying the compilation errors back into the prompt? In my experience eventually the result is correct. If not then I shrink the surface area that the model is touching and try again.

yes ofcourse. it then proceeds to agree that what it told me was indeed stupid and proceeds to give me something even worse.

I would love to see a video of ppl using this in real projects ( even if its open source) . I am tried of ppl claiming moon and stars after trying it on toy projects.

Yeah that's what happens. It can recreate anything it's been trained on - which is a lot - but you'll definitely fall into these "Oh, I see the issue now" loops when doing anything not in the training set.
