The company I work for recently rolled up copilot and is have been a mixed bag of reactions, the less savvy user were first blowed up by the demonstration but then got exasperated when it didn't worked as they tough (one of them uploaded an excel file and asked to some analysis it couldn't do, and came to me to complain about it), but for me, and my team had worked great. I've been uploading some of my python and SQL scripts and asking for refactoring and adding comments, or uploading my SQL script and some example I found on stackoverflow and asking for it to apply the example method on my script.

I say to everyone that if they don't know shit, the AI isn't not going to help a lot, but if you have at least the basic, the AI would help you.

even just on simple stuff I asked it to generate a description on something like

if x then set z to null

and it returned

"this will set z to null if x is true or false"

like easy to edit, but you have to pay attention.
