1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

The reports of totally made up answers that are so confident and well-written have me thinking. These AI seem to have no concept of the difference between fact and fiction. Being asked to produce copy is the same thing to them as being asked for factual content. They regularly plagiarize, so taking bits from the questions and bits from other writings, they assemble responses as if they were just copy, even when asked to answer with simple facts, whole snips of historical documents/scientific studies, or calculations.
Perhaps what is needed is a sort-of 'scholar:' tag. So when asking for answers, it won't make things up.

Common sense and baseline IQ will tell anyone that AI and AI "Chat" is still very new and is in constant development and progression.
Eventually, some day (soon?) it will be perfected.
To judge it now is premature at best.

The key word in the name is "Artificial". Anyone with half a brain knows that these machines have nothing anywhere close to intelligence.

Why would they? They get fed the internet: GIGO applies!

AI is just a learning algorithm. It predicts behavior based on previously known inputs and learns to predict the correct output based on these. The problem is that it needs a massive amount of data to be able to do this.
What I would love to see is an AI that could read the documentation and be able to just answer your questions from this documentation. Or better, you just type what you want to do in a console in the respective program, and the AI finds out what you want it to do and does it.

I was thinking more generally. If you have say a GIS program you could just type: I want to create a plot of the current view, and it just does it.
The AI you suggested seems to be a coder and code reviewer?

My link was for the coder.
I do not use it - but you can sign up for the technical preview.
They also announce an AI for docs
GitHub Next | Copilot for Docs[^]
But you can only join the waitlist (whatever this means).

Maybe I can ask the AI for docs on what it means. Oh snap 
I would also love to just give an AI a plot and ask it to make a game of it in the style of Witcher 3

Err...not sure I see much difference between what you are stating and basically every click bait site. Plus quite a few other sites. Not to mention posts by many individuals.

There's is no "one" AI. Each one is custom-tailored, by a "creator", to pursue their agenda; probably at your expense. At a minimum, it captures "you" while you're busy conversing with "it" (i.e. the "creator's" data banks).
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I
