I tried asking deeply technical questions and got confidently incorrect responses.

I've asked moderately technical questions and was confidently given wrong information. That said, it's right far more often than copilot. I haven't used Google for quite some time

Huh, I've found The GitHub Copilot better. You still can't trust it when it talks about APIs, though. Or anything else really - you have to keep your wits about you. I use it for suggestions on where to start with things, or for testing my assumptions, or for generating boilerplate code, but not for copying and pasting anything critical.
