Wait what? I thought, they’d integrate it in the OS like they did with cortana - or Bing search in the start menu…
I’m from the EU, so I’m lucky and won’t see this anytime soon, but what does it do and how does it work in the Terminal? Is it a new tab complete, but with AI hallucinations instead of real commands/filenames?

Ok, so they’re not targeting “day to day command-line use”, but development in general and want to offer a way to explain error messages, generate code, etc. If done right, and the model is trained in a good way, that might work. All the problems surrounding code gen models and copyright/license issues from the generated code still apply, though.
Especially the mention of WinDBG support and probably a way to guide you through might be a really nice feature.
Skimming through the MS blog post, that your link mentiones, I don’t really believe in the hype of “now everyone can be a developer” it offers - I’ve seen that too often with low-code, no-code, RPA,… tools to know that it won’t really scale. There’s more to development than just to generate code…
