Copilot is great, but a hundred bucks for what is basically a smart autocomplete seems a bit much - mostly, I hate the fact that the code is constantly transmitted to github (my repos are mostly local) - are there any reasonably convenient options for doing this without github looking over my shoulder all the time? I’m using VSCode but not wedded to it.

    thanks, yes - looks like a free entry point for autocomplete - the ‘pro’ tier is probably similar to copilot, by the looks of things - about the same price too.

    This project seemed promising from the initial description:

    https://github.com/CodedotAl/gpt-code-clippy/

    but looking at the issues and history, it doesn’t seem to be all that promising practically, so presumably avoiding corporate AI is not easy (yet).
