  • VS Code Version: newest
  • OS Version: windows 11
  • Logs: none

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. add reference from a file
  2. add a reference from another file to edit that one as well
  3. copilot completely forgot the context of its own code in the first reference

I want to know how it is possible this thing forget stuff in 2 seconds!

You'd have to follow this path:

ChatGPT which backs Copilot is "stateless". It has no memory. If you believe otherwise, you've been hoodwinked by feigned intelligence which is exactly what ChatGPT was designed to do.
