I just read how someone on RetroArch tries to improve documentation by using Copilot. But not in the sense as we might think. His approach is to let Copilot read the documentation and give him follow-up question a hypothetical developer might have. This also could be extended to normal code I guess, to pretend it being a student maybe and have it ask questions instead generating or making changes? I really like this approach.
For context, I myself don’t use online Ai tools, only offline “weak” Ai run on my hardware. And I mostly don’t use it to generate code, but more like asking questions in the chatbox or revising code parts and then analyze and test the “improved” version. Otherwise I do not use it much in any other form. It’s mainly to experiment.
Never said its a revelation. I just pointed out an interesting use case, which does not involve content generation like code or art.
Im not saying that’s what you’re saying. It’s just sad that every fucking conversation is about how trash ai is or how it’s going to save the world. It has interesting uses to augment human capabilities.
