I'm trying to convince a senior developer from the team I'm a member of, to stop using copilot. They have committed code that they didn't understand (only tested to verify it does what it's expected to do). I doubt it'd succeed...

Co-pilot is amazing and terrible at the same time.

When it's suggesting the exact line of code I expect to write, amazing. When it can build the permissions I need for a service account for a TF module I've written, amazing

However, it will suggest poorly formed, un-optimized code all too often.

That said, knowing when to use/not use/modify the suggested code has greatly improved my productivity and consistency.

I wish all this AI stuff was limited to just creating a new coding language. That I can get behind, sharing programming information is not the same as copying others art.
