The value from copilot seems to be very dependant on exactly what you are coding, in which language and what libraries/frameworks you are using. I've been using it on and off for about a year and on the whole consider it at best a net neutral in terms of value. For every 10 times it saves me 2-3 minutes typing out some boiler plate it costs me 20-30 minutes to sort out some weird bug or subtle gibberish it has introduced in my codebase. Half the time the suggestions are just obviously wrong.
