GitHub previews new AI tool that makes coding suggestions – TechCrunch

GitHub has unveiled a new product that leverages artificial intelligence to help you write code more efficiently. Named GitHub Copilot, today's new product can suggest lines of code and even sometimes entire functions. GitHub has partnered with OpenAI to develop this tool. It doesn't replace developers, it's just a tool that should improve productivity and make it easier to learn how to code. The model behind GitHub Copilot has been trained on billions of lines of code -- many of them are hosted and available publicly on GitHub itself.
