I cannot teach AI (Copilot)

When I tried to teach AI for a workaround, I met with the cognitive capability limitation of AI. A junior developer can learn faster (yet?).

Achilles and the Tortoise paradox

There are predictions, the AI will borrow the junior IT positions. It sounds blatant, but the reality is more complex. The key is the AI learning way.

I’m using Copilot every day to help writing lines of code (continuing a started line). Sometime I use AI for more complex activities, for example writing deployment (configuration) and source code function, but often a Google search gives better and more trustful answer.

I prefer Copilot, because it’s integrated to my IDE, so it can access the whole source code, the actual file and cursor position, to figure out the context. It’s comfortable, because I don’t have to describe the whole context and Copilot adds the suggested changes directly to the source code. But handling several depending repo is a challenge.

The Story

Symptom

I wanted to deploy a Docker container in a RedHat VM running in Azure by community.docker Ansible collection. I configured it well, but I got an error message:

Error connecting: Invalid response from docker daemon: key "ApiVersion" is missing.
