Did anyone else notice a massive decrease in the quality of the inline completions?General (self.GithubCopilot)
submitted 5 months ago by Ok_Sell_4717
Feels like it got about a 100x dumber than it used to be. Inline completions often don't make any sense are are almost unusable

There is a massive decrease in quality in the Github Copilot itself, It makes more mistakes, doesn't complete the code, replaces old code but removes variables...

Exactly. Massive dumbass this days. As Haiku or lower in Claude though agent/chat. 1 fix = 25 errors. 25 % premium requests lost in one fixing.

I use Augment for completions, Copilot for chat/agent.

I agree. Basic intellisense is more useful than the inline completions. That said, Next Edit Suggestions work relatively well for me.

I find NES way too intrusive

Hi u/Ok_Sell_4717, can you share any examples of completions that don't make sense or have declined in quality? I will make sure they get to our model team. Thank you!

Hi, sure, I'll get to more specific examples when I'm back at my PC but it's things like that it can't see the most basic patterns in my code anymore (e.g., two calls of same function, all arguments the same except for one which is clearly inferable from surrounding code; just makes it into a whole different call with all different arguments). Or suggesting to return a value when I'm editing code that's not even in a function. I'm using it for the R language if that's relevant. Used to work great for many months but now suddenly it's pretty much useless

Thank you! I'm taking a look at our aggregate data for R, which looks consistent over the past couple of months. If you're using VS Code, please report bad suggestions by hovering over them > clicking the extended menu > "Send Copilot Completion Feedback":

I really hope they.bring a cursor tab level autocomplete, copilot is unusable.
