> The amount of people who think that GitHub Copilot is a good idea is just frightening. Just shows how many people never thought about the semantics of their programs for even a second.

I think it's an excellent idea. People who copy-paste from Stack Overflow will also copy lots of shitty code or use it incorrectly.

But those of us with a clue, have a neat prototyping system where we can modify the solution until it's coherent. It's still on us. Copilot never claimed to produce the best code. And doesn't have to. That's the whole point behind the "pair programming" metaphor.
