i think when people say things like this it indicates that they tried LLMs in 2022 and solidified their opinion there.

I've used copilot to code almost exclusively now for the past few months. Anyone still comparing it to text completion I feel is operating on completely out of date information either intentionally or unintentionally.
This is such an exhausting conversation
