I trialed GitHub Copilot and used ChatGPT for a bit, but recently I found myself using them less and less.

I’ve found them valuable when doing something new(at least to me), but for most of my day-to-day it seems to have lost it’s luster.

    I was skeptical at first, but after using phind.com it partially changed my opinion on using AI for development assistance.

    It massively helps me to filter out information and leads me to the right answer.

    Like the other day, I searched on how to write some Latex symbols or how to use Java Stream API, it spit out the result immediately that saved my precious time on searching the Internet.

    I don’t use CoPilot though.

        Yes. It’s free and doesn’t have any limitations on usage for now (unless you use “Expert” model).

        But I guess you’re sending your query data to Phind so it’s not totally “free”, as you’re selling your query data.
