FYI, in VS Code, you highlight the error in the terminal, right click and select "copilot explain this." One less layer of indirection. In C++, I ultimately only end up using it for 10% of the errors, but because it's the type of error with a terrible message, copilot sees through it and puts it in plain English.

I was so impressed with gpt-4's ability to diagnose and correct errors that i made this app to catch python runtime errors, and automatically make gpt-4 code inject the correction: https://github.com/matthewkolbe/OpenAIError
