If you're looking at it from the perspective that my employer pays me $X/hour to write code, and CoPilot is less than that price, then it might be a bargain in that sense. On the other hand, my employer pays me for my experience and knowledge. Most of my time isn't spent writing code, so I don't think it's fair to just look at an hourly dollar amount when deciding whether it's worth it.

That being said, my biggest issue with CoPilot is that it's a ML system trained from open source and public repositories. Also straight from the website, "By using GitHub Copilot [...] you help to improve GitHub Copilot." I'm now paying for the privilege of handing over my data to GitHub so they can combine it with open source code to make more money off of people who are convinced it's somehow saving their company money.
