About GitHub Copilot
GitHub Copilot is a program that utilises OpenAI Codex instead of GPT-3
GitHub Copilot is a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that assists in writing code. It has been trained on vast amounts of public code, so it can quickly provide you with the information you need to get your job done faster and more efficiently.
It is designed to help you find answers and alternatives for problem solving, writing tests, and discovering new APIs without needing to search through the internet for the appropriate information. As you code, Copilot is able to adjust to your specific coding style in order to make you more productive.
GitHub Copilot is a collaboration between the company OpenAI and GitHub. It works with a wide range of languages and frameworks, but it is particularly effective with Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, and Go. OpenAI Codex, the AI system that powers GitHub Copilot, is more advanced than GPT-3 due to its training with an abundance of public source code.
