It is incredibly early. Copilot and Cursor are both incapable of writing a mapping between two structs with identical fields - some of the most menial coding imaginable - because they either don’t have or won’t use basic coding mechanics like looking up the signature of a thing before writing code about it. This is the technology that should be making me 10x more productive? This honestly feels like an emperor has no clothes situation. Being charitable, maybe the hype is all from people generating code into empty projects with no existing context?
I keep running into these sorts of messages in hn but my experience couldn't be more different. Even autocomplete does this automatically for me, let alone using chat/agent in cursor/augment code.
that's weird I'm pretty sure I've done that exact thing multiple times with chatgpt. I've noticed copilot doesn't always work well but it's still frequently useful for me.
I'm sure if I copy and pasted to setup the problem in a ChatGPT browser window, it would work. But I would expect a $10 billion "AI powered" editor to be capable of using the go-to-definition on my behalf...
