At Microsoft’s Build developer conference, GitHub announced the rollout of a new AI coding agent built directly into GitHub Copilot. This upgraded assistant can now handle development tasks like fixing bugs, writing features, refactoring code, and improving documentation. Developers can assign issues to Copilot through GitHub.com, GitHub Mobile, or the GitHub command-line interface, just like assigning them to a human. Despite all its power, the Copilot agent doesn’t act without checks. Every change it makes goes into a separate branch and draft pull request; it won’t push code live without human review and can’t approve its own work. Is AI making work easier or dullutignthe quality ?
