So a computer can type a sample from a coursebook into the editor for you, after much prompting, fiddling, and tabbing from you.
Well, I guess it's marginally better than typing in printed listings from a computer magazine, like we did in the 80's.
Seriously, folks, having Copilot regurgitate code into the IDE for you which you A) could have found yourself and, B) don't understand anyway is not increasing anyone's productivity. It's turning their minds to Jell-O. The more we rely on auto complete for programming, the less complete is the programmer's mind.
