I held off for a long time, maybe longer than was smart as a consultant, but I’ve finally explored AI. I’m still not into the hype of all the large language models and the “use AI everywhere” crowd. I have come around to some useful benefits though. Many organizations struggle with tech debt and application modernization. With the recent announcement of GitHubs Copilot free tier [1] I wanted to share some recent experience with Gen AI and App modernization and discuss some of the benefits and drawbacks I encountered.
