Even though it is based on mostly human written code, Copilot makes mistakes that are different from the type human coders typically make. It will take a different skill set to detect and correct the errors made by systems like Copilot. The same is true for self-driving cars. This doesn't mean that we shouldn't use these technologies, just that there will be adaptations to our behavior we'll need to make if we want to make use of them.

Can you give an example for this?

Probably not what OP intended but here's what I encountered. When autocompleting code for a Pythonic database query it would finish something like "query.all()" as "query.all().delete()". Meanwhile, as a programmer, I'm usually quite vary of deleting all the records from a database unless I'm very sure that's what I want.
