Was pleasantly surprised to see #GithubCopilot autocomplete a form letter I was writing (using the #VSCode + #LaTeXworkshop setup I have recently switched to). Given just the opening paragraph and a further sentence, it suggested the remainder of the paragraph that was quite close to what I actually intended to write, and I was able to complete the form letter in less than half the time I had expected by performing minor edits to the Copilot suggestions.

The letter contains some personal information regarding the subject of the letter, so I cannot share it here; but I can share a typical screenshot of how the autocomplete would work in the paper I recently completed. In attempting to autocomplete an outline of the proof, Copilot does manage to quote relevant results from elsewhere in the paper, but then wanders off into stochastic analytic number theory nonsense. Outside of some very short autocompletions or when writing some repetitive patterns of text, I have found it more amusing than useful while writing math papers thus far, but it may well surprise me in the future.

Every five to ten years, I make the effort to switch my #LaTeX editor to a more modern one. This process has now iterated several times back from when I was a graduate student in the mid-1990s using vi from a UNIX shell. On the suggestion of a reader here, I installed #VSCode + #TeXLive + #LaTeXworkshop + #GithubCopilot as an upgrade from my current setup of #TeXnicCenter + #miktex
which I had been using for almost a decade, and am recording my first impressions here (which will most likely be quite naive for existing VSCode users).

The installation had no problems (other than the four hours needed to download the TeX live packages on a slow internet connection). I began experimenting with various features. So far I have mostly played with the user-defined code snippets feature, which can allow me for instance to create an entire corollary environment by typing in a trigger word (I chose "cor") and pressing tab (see enclosed screenshots). Strangely enough I had a version of this functionality 20 years ago during a brief period when I experimented with using Microsoft Word as a LaTeX editor purely for the ability to use Visual Basic macros (though I abandoned this shortly after due to the lack of other LaTeX-friendly features). I could certainly see myself using this feature frequently as a time-saver.

So far the AI-powered Copilot suggestions have been mainly useful for filling out the snippet functionality: after giving a few examples of the snippets I wanted, it was able to suggest more that I could accept, again with the single click of the tab key.

(Incidentally, the screenshots are displaying a paper which I will be putting on the arXiv shortly. Stay tuned...)

One very interesting observation from coding with #AI/#ML:

I've found that I've started subconsciously trying to race #GithubCopilot to type out lines of code before it can guess them.

I used to stop occasionally to sit and ponder what I wanted to write, but now if I do that, the machine tells me what I wanted and it's usually right, so that motivates me to stop pondering and do what I know needs to get done.

It feels like a productivity booster.

Is the future of programming as AI-dependent as the present is calculator-dependent for arithmetic? Will programmers who can code without AI be more/less valued than those who rely on it? I'm debating whether to become an AI-dependent programmer or not. #AI #GitHubCopilot #coding

The autocompletion of #GitHubCopilot is nuts - even data you want to look up comes in live.

I just migrated my (archived) repositories from :github: #GitHub to @Codeberg and it was as easy as creating a new one. 👌

Do you know about the implications of #GitHubCopilot? If not, you may want to read https://githubcopilotlitigation.com and migrate as well... 😬
