“GITHUB Copilot” could replace the programmers?

First we have to know what “GITHUB Copilot” is. It is an artificial intelligence model based on GPT3, which auto-completes the code correctly making suggestions, and this is not copy and paste code. It suggests auto-completion according to context, and it does so in various programming languages such as Python, TypeScript, GO, Rubby. And not only that, it also converts a simple comment in natural language to code.

This model was developed by OpenAI, but today we are not going to talk about how it works, what we want to do is answer the following question: could “GITHUB Copilot” replace the programmers?

For now not yet, but it will reduce the working hours of programmers, but we must not forget that this model will continue to improve day by day, and it is possible that in the future this artificial intelligence will do our work as programmers without need. to become involved in the process.
