I wonder what would happen if I’d enable them all at the same time.
How is Jetbrains AI? I’ve not messed with it yet
I had it during the beta. Not bad, though it’s pretty heavy handed with the Jetbrains sales pitches after almost every answer.
Their integration with the Git interface was nice though, having auto-generated commit messages based on its evaluation of the changeset is so convenient.
Code still doesn’t work
And your IDE is laggy as hell
Just get copilot for vim /s
Just get vim
Github Copilot (n.) accelerated editing for programmers who refuse to learn any form of accelerated editing besides tab completion, and/or are too lazy to use a search engine to look up an algorithm they don’t know
How is jetbrains AI integration into their IDEs? I assume not perfect since you have more than one system.
They talk amongst themselves about how shit the code is.
The he JetBrains AI plugin wants to be activated so badly, but legal says we can only use GitHub copilot. The github plugin is really good so I don’t mind, but we all know the data is going to OpenAI regardless of the plugin, unless it uses a self-hosted service.
I’ve got just 2 now. Codium and Blackbox.ai. Not because they’re the best, but because I’m a cheapskate hobbyist and they’re free :)
I’m only just starting to play with AI tooling, so I don’t have an opinion on which is better, but something about the way Blackbox worked within VSCode means I went through the hassle of getting it installed to vscodium when I switched.
I suspect that Codium might be better at oddball stuff, though, like OpenSCAD. Blackbox seems to just make bad guesses while trying to regurgitate code I’ve already written. Codium seems to have at least a primitive idea of what’s going on with OpenSCAD. But Blackbox does a great job of cleaning up my comments and even generating decent comments for uncommented code.
FWIW, Codium actually labels OpenSCAD as “experimental”, but I don’t know if that’s just boilerplate for something it’s never been trained on or whether there is some training data in its system.
Blackbox is a pain to work with in other ways, though. It was like pulling teeth to get an account and I still can’t find anything on their pricing–or any documentation, for that matter–despite language suggesting that there are different tiers and a chat UI that offers different settings (like web browsing mode and fun mode). And the Blackbox name isn’t doing it any favours, given that “black box” is a generic term in the AI community and others. It’s own chat doesn’t seem to know that a question about the service might be about the service instead of the generic term.
Codium is one of the few which does something different
I’ve been using Github Copilot for a few weeks now and it’s really helpful. I’ll likely keep the subscription on that one. Curious about the other ones mentioned here 🤔
There was a research paper that took a variety of weaker LLMs and randomly asked each one to generate the next word, and it actually turned out really well.
