Ah yes, nobody wants the shitty AI that can't even keep conversation context across 2 messages ... I wonder why.

User: Hey, what does this error code mean? <error code>

Copilot: It means this and that. You should do this and that.

User: Ok, I did this and that but it didn't work, what now?

Copilot: It seems like you are having problems with your Code. Please send me the error code so I can help you.

User: I literally send you the error code 2 messages ago!

Copilot: Ah, you're right. It means this and that. You should do this and that.

User: I already did that.

This shit has worse memory than a fruit fly with Alzheimer.

It'd be impossible to run locally otherwise.

All modern chatbots can't do memory at all. When you send a message, the back end has to send them the entire conversation, which they need to process in its entirety, before responding. This quickly becomes a very heavy processing load, but they are utterly useless if this isn't done.

What the hell are you talking about?

I can run local models that have like 200k context. The biggest ones online have 1 million+ and memory to handle it for bigger stuff.

Co-pilot is shit, thats why nobody uses it.
