Where does slop start? If you use auto complete and it is just adding a semicolon or some braces, is it slop? Is producing character by character what you would have wrote yourself slop? How about using it for debugging?

I mean I don't use copilot but a self hosted Claude at work for debugging and creating templates. I still run thru and test it. I'm only doing crossplane, kyverno, kubernetes infra things though and I started without it so I have an understanding. Now running their someone's crossplane composition written in go and I asked them about this error and he just said get the AI to fix it was worrying since his last day is next week.

Its only slop if you accept slop. What i mean is that it cna and does generate perfectly fine code. It also generates code that is ok, but needs a human touch. It also generates verbose garbage. Its only slop if you approve the slop. Its perfectly fine to let it generate the boilerplate of what you want, and tweak it. If its prompted well enough, you get less slop. Ultimately I am with Linus on this one. The genie is out of the bottle. Use it responsibly.
