In fact, many have pointed out that Copilot’s process of looking up code based on its expected constraints is similar to one that a developer might experience by searching StackOverflow for code snippets.

GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot was recently announced! In the past few years, we’ve seen artificial intelligence (AI) revolutionize aspects of technology such as image recognition, recommendation algorithms, and more. With Copilot, GitHub is hoping to add “code generation” to that list of items. In this article, we’ll explain what GitHub Copilot is, why some people are concerned with allowing its usage in technical interviews, and how to build your interviews to be better in general and therefore more resilient to auto-generated code.
