Everybody seems to be very excited about generative AI models these days. The availability of the Large Language Models (LLMs) through conversational interfaces like ChatGPT and of image generation tools like Dall-E or Stable Diffusion have brought generative AI to the masses. Although Github Copilot, also based on the GPT family of models, has been available for a while now, this was a niche tool, for programmers only.
Of course, Emacs being the best text-based interface to a computer, it is also the best interface to the generative AI models which are driven through textual prompts. Everything being a text buffer in Emacs, sending and receiving text via an API is straightforward (if you know Emacs Lisp).
It is therefore not a surprise that there are many Emacs packages allowing to use ChatGPT and Copilot. Just to list a few 1 :
