It’s completely inconsistent for me, and any time I start to think it is amazing, I quickly am proven wrong. It definitely has done some useful things for me, but as it stands any sort of “one shot” or vibecoding where I expect the ai to complete a whole task autonomously is still a long ways off.

Copilot completions are amazingly useful. chatting with the chatbot is a super useful debugging tool. Giving it a function or database query and asking the ai to optimize it works great. But true vibe coding is still, imho, more of a party trick than an actual productivity multiplier. It can do things that look useful, and it can do things that solve immediate self-contained problems. but it can’t create launchable products that serve the needs of multiple users.
