The amount of misconceptions in this comment are quite profound.

Copilot isn't an LLM, for a start. You _combine_ it wil a selection of LLMs. And it absolutely has severe limitations compared to something like Claude Code in how it can interact with the programming environment.

"Hallucinations" are far less of a problem with software that grounds the AI to the truth in your compiler, diagnostics, static analysis, a running copy of your project, runnning your tests, executing dev tools in your shell, etc.

You're being overly pedantic here and moving goalposts. Copilot (for coding) without an LLM is pretty useless.

I stand by my assertion that these tools are all basically the same fundamental tech - LLMs.

Over generalizing. The synergy between the LLM and the client (cursor, Claude code, copilot, etc) make a huge difference in results.

This is like saying every web app is basically the same fundamental tech - databases.

		Or that writing Python with notepad.exe and Jupyter are fundamentally the same.
