The current version of Copilot is based on GPT 3, which is even dumber than 3.5, which isn’t even in the same league as GPT 4.

GPT 3 is “fancy tab-complete”.

GPT 4 will correct your mistakes, write the test case to prevent your fallible human brain from repeating it, and then explain this in a detailed doc-comment so other humans can read it and gawk at the history of your errors.

GPT 4 version is already available for some (Copilot Chat)

I've been using it for a couple of days but it feels much more limited than GPT-4-based ChatGPT. If I ask ChatGPT to do the same task it always comes up with a much better solution. Has anyone else experienced the same?

I've tried it for 15 minutes and came to the same conclusion.

I don't think that's correct even if some news outlets claim otherwise. Anyone who has used GPT-4 and Copilot X will recognize that X can't be based on GPT-4. Copilot is significantly inferior.
