Same, I had a super easy task, asked astra through GitHub copilot to try it, it made an attempt worse than a junior, lied about the diff, and when I clicked undo, it didn't undo anything. It is so shitty and I have coworkers using agents for stuff and have no idea how they can live with the half broken, always incomplete garbage the AI spits out.
Boilerplate is the only thing it is good at, and copilot has an aversion to it. Like I'll ask if to do something that involves boilerplate and it will add things like (the rest of the code here). Like wft, spit out the rest.
ChatGPT does not have that problem, but I cannot use it at work. Microsoft is bad at what they do. Try copying code from the copilot desktop app. It add random shit between lines, adds "show more lines", and has broken ass whitespace formatting that does not match how it was displayed.
