Right

I am in the same boat with you. I am simultaneously wowed and underwhelmed to some degree.

Yes it is amazing when it gets right, it feels like cheating. But at the same time, it many times, does ... too much? To read a huge chuck of code and figuring out where it goes wrong is not a thing for me. Also Copilot doesn't really know the API, so yes, the amount of mental tax isn't less to make sure your program really behaves.

But again, I see the idea of Copilot is already huge win. I hate writing those manual scripts just offer people an entrance to some utility behind. Copilot does those things, surprisingly well and with accuracy.

Let it improve in the future, and we will see changes that quite fundamental to the idea of programming itself.
