AI assistants like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot have been real game-changers for programmers. But which one of them is best?
When we talk about GitHub Copilot, a coding-focused AI tool, we can say it has been designed specifically for programmers only. It can understand in a much better way about your specific project and generate relevant code completions, snippets, and functions.
A study from GitHub revealed it shows an impressive almost 80% accuracy in suggesting the next line of code, because of the massive amount of dataset on public code it has been trained on. And this also makes it ideal for rapid development processes and handling repetitive tasks.
On the other hand, ChatGPT is a broader Generative AI tool that can generate all sorts of text content beyond just coding. It has more than 180 million users worldwide using it regularly for content generation. It can answer your coding questions, explain the existing codes, and even generate basic scripts. But it must be noted, that the output might be less accurate compared to Copilot because of the training data.
In the infographic below, we compare ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot on various parameters, including their features, pros and cons, and best suitable for.
So, have a look at this detailed comparative infographic and understand which one will be the better choice for you.
