Exploring the 'Almost Creepy' AI Engine in Visual Studio 2022
As the GitHub Copilot "AI pair programmer" shakes up the software development space, Microsoft's Mads Kristensen reminds folks that Visual Studio's IntelliCode ain't too shabby, either.
Kristensen, known for his voluminous extension authoring for all kinds of Visual Studio functionality, today (Oct. 31) authored a blog post/video examining the IDE's AI engine as part of " Cool features in Visual Studio 2022." Visual Studio's AI engine, IntelliCode, was part of that discussion (based on a previous presentation).
Despite the advent of GitHub Copilot, Microsoft's flagship IDE continues to use IntelliCode, which is based on the same underlying AI tech, but with important differences.
GitHub Copilot burst onto the dev scene last year and in June became generally available as an editor/IDE extension available for Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio 2022, Neovim and the JetBrains suite of IDEs.
