So basically shift the cognitive burden on to your coworkers? And what if they are also using copilot hoping that you will sanity check it’s output for them? Tit for tat prisoner’s dilemma and no one even realises they are playing the game..

Presumably copilot will easily do (bad!) code reviews as well, trained on all the world’s PR comments…
Maybe a future version could even write the requirements for the application. And when the users can't figure out how to use whatever comes out, we can have an AI do that part too.
That is what I like (at least in theory) of AWS CodeGuru. It helps you to detect bugs and common bad practices automatically in the code review.
