Oh it's so bad. So so bad.
If you prompted an AI to return answers "as though you habitually ate soap and crayons while mouth breathing" you'd still get a better response than copilot

(Stick with the default "Auto" and you probably get Phi-4 -- it's lobotomised AF.)
I use Copilot a lot now. Unlimited, free, high-quality, enterprise-protected inference is not to be sniffed at. It also writes some of the nicest code I've ever seen from an LLM, that's almost entirely free of comments.
I don't think many people are aware of just how much it can do; it's certainly not advertised, and very likely not intended.
Provide me with optimised python code to perform a prime number search. Test the code and report on performance. Benchmark different search solutions. Provide the code in a downloadable zip archive.
A silly toy example, but it should help give a hint of what's possible.
My experience was great because I had premium license and only used thinking models
Most colleagues didn’t have premium and used default/auto model
People stick to their very first bad experience unfortunately
