<p>I recently got accepted into GitHub's Copilot program. This is an AI driven pair programming experiment. Basically it is an extension to your favorite IDE that tries to guess what you are doing and provide code samples. On paper, it sounds like Skynet, but in reality it is just a nural network trained on billions of lines of code from GitHub. While it doesn't know your code, it has surely seen something similar to it in its training set. <br> </p>
