Not sure why this randomly stopped working, maybe some non-backwards-compatible change in Hugo that I am not aware of.

I found out that GitHub Copilot can write in Markdown, so I decided to get it to
|
|
write a blog post for me. Here's how I did it.

## Preface
|
|
|
|
I recommend you read my [other blog post about Copilot]({{< ref
|
|
"/blog/github-copilot-experiments/index.md" >}}) where I showed a bunch of
|
|
examples of code I generated using Copilot. Near the end of it, I started to
|
|
experiment asking some questions to it, rather than using it to generate code.
|
|
That turned out to be a great idea, and led to the creation of this blog post.
|
|
|
|
## Writing English with Copilot
|
|
|
|
After using Copilot as an encyclopedia, I got an idea. What if I used GitHub
|
|
Copilot to generate ideas?
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="print-a-news-article" >}}
|
|
|
|
I decided to take it a step further and set the language to Markdown. I started
|
|
writing out the basic structure of a blog post on my website and let it
|
|
autocomplete.
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="feature" >}}
|
|
|
|
I'm not quite sure who Kurt A. Smith is, why Copilot chose April Fools 2020 for
|
|
the date, or why it was so adamant on writing a blog post about itself. What I
|
|
do know is that I would be able to write a blog post. All I had to do was type a
|
|
word or two, and Copilot turned it into a couple sentences.
|
|
|
|
## The finished product
|
|
|
|
The actual blog post written by Copilot is available [here]({{< ref "/blog/copilot-post/" >}}).
