Github Copilot vs. ChatGPT: Which one should you use, and when?

Everyone is familiar with #chatgpt at this point. It has been literally everywhere lately – the subject of countless videos, blogs, and news articles. However, if you’re a technician, aspiring developer, or even senior developer, did you know Github’s #copilot uses the same #ai technology and is far more capable at increasing your efficiency, productivity and overall output than ChatGPT?

Well, in my opinion, Copilot is vastly superior to ChatGPT when it comes to writing and generating reliable code, though there is still a time and place for ChatGPT in the code-writing process, as well. Check out this video to learn the value proposition, when to use which tool, and why I’m so excited by Github Copilot.
