It feels like a long time ago but around late 2022 or early 2023 ish, I used Copilot very extensively. I thought it was a superpower.

I even went in and edited the text area size iirc from 8k to 32k or something just so I could paste longer context into it.

I really felt like an elite haxor.

However, times have changed. What was "state of the art" in 2023 is pedestrian now. Copilot really had an early lead, in my opinion when Bard felt somewhat off. Now? I don't even think about Copilot. I feel very comfortable putting my thoughts in Claude or even Gemini.

Depending on which Copilot you are talking about, it became generally available in mid to late 2023.
