I trialed GitHub Copilot and used ChatGPT for a bit, but recently I found myself using them less and less.

I've found them valuable when doing something new(at least to me), but for most of my day-to-day it seems to have lost it's luster.

I've been using Copilot. I don't really use the prompt feature at all, but the autocomplete is very good. I find that it tends to follow the style of the code that's already in the module I'm working on, so it's mostly a speed thing than a "figure out how to do this for me" thing. It's also great at finishing comments and test cases.
