I use GitHub Copilot from work in agent mode with GPT5 and it’s great! I don’t use the suggestions, fix, or explain features, I agree they’re almost always not helpful.

Oh, they for sure know what they're doing.

I've had great success with GPT5 in existing projects because its agent mode is very good (the best I've seen so far) at analyzing the existing codebase and then writing code that feels like it fits in already (without prompt engineering on my part). I still agree that AI is particularly good on fresh projects though.

In general, such broad surveillance usually sounds like a bad thing to me.

Most of the people I know (including myself) that are into these kinds of cars buy used instead. Or they bought their car 50 years ago and still maintain it.
