I will never understand why the model — any model in any environment — is allowed to execute commands.

    There is exactly one situation in which it sort of makes sense: Copilot integrated with VS Code, running repo-specific commands like yarn build, with direct human oversight.

    That's it. That's the only situation.

    is there any value in saving like ten keystrokes it would take to type the command yourself while introducing the ability for an AI to hallucinate your code to death

    Not really. I'm using Copilot for my job because I'm required to, but I limit it to creating basic scripts that accomplish very specific tasks, which it's okay at. I never let it touch my actual codebase.

    Every experiment I've run to test how it does with real code from a large, production application has failed miserably. It introduces mocks, it duplicates stuff everywhere, it fakes shit when real APIs are available... I have no fucking idea how these "AI" companies have managed to convince so many businesses that producing catastrophically shitty code very quickly is a good thing.
