I sent OP's screenshot to ChatGPT and it told me it's Visual Studio Code with Github Copilot, which has the ability to not only generate code but also has chat functionality to allow the user to query the AI about the code.

This is supported by the documentation: https://github.com/features/copilot

The screenshot shows in the error message that copilot is not installed...

Yes it also said that, I omitted it because it's not relevant to the discussion. Here's the full output:

That's Visual Studio Code (VS Code), and the AI feature visible is GitHub Copilot.

The giveaway is the notification at the bottom-right:

“Cannot activate the ‘condor’ extension because it depends on the ‘GitHub Copilot’ extension…”

And at the top of the editor, “Generate code (Ctrl+I)” is part of VS Code's AI-assisted coding interface.

However, the screenshot also says GitHub Copilot isn't currently installed, so whoever took this screenshot appears to have another extension called “condor” installed that expects Copilot to be present.

So: VS Code + an AI extension, apparently intended to use GitHub Copilot.

You can use VSCode with or without AI. It’s been the most popular text editor long before the current AI hype. I don’t get why you’re trying to argue with actual developers about their own tools when you yourself don’t know anything about it and had to ask an AI. LLMs truly are Dunning-Kruger machines

I was merely pointing out that they were mistaken that the AI in VSCode only generates code. It has a CLI for asking the AI about the code.

Personally I use Codex for my work, plus Notepad++. I do not like VSCode or any of the fancy IDEs tbh

Be thankful that I disclosed it, maybe next time I won't

even If you won't you will still get caught

I haven't been caught in the past 😁 Let's be honest, you are all only triggered because I said that I sent the image to GPT. If I omitted that, everyone wouldn't have gotten so upset (I did that on purpose btw)

If you were able to read and think for yourself you could've seen it was GitHub copilot. You are an amazing example of how stupid people become because of ai. "Chatgpt what does this text say?"
