Comment on Learning Rust with ChatGPT, Copilot and Advent of Code

Comments

I just tried something similar to generate a bunch of boilerplate for parsing some deeply nested & complex JSON using Rust/Serde. It gave me a handful of errors, but it was ~90% correct. Which, to be fair, is still shockingly good.

I was already very optimistic about Copilot by itself being able to basically eliminate the need to check StackOverflow/Docs for basic questions. Combined with ChatGPT I can essentially offload all boilerplate I would ever need to write (provided I'm still able to identify & correct the few errors it spits out from time to time).
