Different how, isn't github owned by microsoft ?

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 26 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

There are like 70 copilots

[–] Senal@programming.dev 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Ok, so there are 70-81 copilots, github is one of them.

Why is github copilot a different thing in the context of the reply that was being responded to ?

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Copilot is the harness, Claude and GPT are the models

Copilot is by far the worst harness of all the major players

[–] Senal@programming.dev 1 points 1 hour ago

Yes, i get that, copilot is like opencode or cursor, though perhaps with less general access to models.

There was a reply

Copilot? You mean the AI with terms of service that are in bold and explicit: “for entertainment purposes only”?

I suppose GitHub Copilot is meant, which is a different thing.

i was asking why github copilot is different in that context.

The hell. How can they expect people to understand ? They plan to sell 100 things under the same name and try to sell it as one big AI when it is hundred of différents things unrelated ?

Most of those are bundled, no one is buying copilot fot OneNote they just get it when the get the rest of that suite.
