I tried it out when it was new and free for a while and it really struggled with anything that wasn't incredibly common. GPT 4 in its chat form works a whole lot better for niche stuff than that one did.

It's definitely far better than when it was free but not GPT4 yet for most people.

It's the opposite of chatGPT: it takes more time to produce useful output but it gets much better in more complex programs while ChatGPT gets worse.

Copilot's original underlying model is currently deprecated, if I remember correctly
