I have a few questions about copilot. I haven’t gotten a chance to use it yet.

Is it irrational that this makes me a little anxious about job security over the longterm? Idk why but this was my initial reaction when learning about this.

Given the scenario where copilot and its likes becomes used in a widespread manner. Can it be argued that this might improve productivity but stifle innovation?

Im pretty early in my career but the rate things are capable of changing soon doesn’t sit too well with me.

I don't think you should worry too much. While it will certainly make it easy for less experienced programmers to catch up with you, it'll probably free you up from a variety of simple but tedious housekeeping tasks and let you concentrate more on designing your program, while also reducing your time to ramp up on stuff that isn't familiar to you.
