AI programming tool Copilot helps write up to 30% of code for some programming languages on GitHub

Good news! About the intersectionality (to use a popular ideological term) of software development and artificial intelligence!

As a software developer myself, I welcome the help from AI. It can reduce repetitive tasks and prevent mistakes and security vulnerabilities. This is only the beginning of a wonderful cooperation between humans and AI!

"Copilot can look at code written by a human programmer and suggest further lines or alternative code, eliminating some of the repetitive labor that goes into coding.
... Copilot is built on the OpenAI Codex algorithm, which was trained on terabytes of openly available source code and can translate human language into programming language. It serves as a more sophisticated autocomplete tool for programmers. ..."

AI programming tool Copilot helps write up to 30% of code on GitHub - Axios The open-source software developer GitHub says that for some programming languages, about 30% of newly written code is being suggested by the company's AI programming tool Copilot.
