This is why I stopped using copilot. It was very good at spitting out code that looked correct enough that I didn’t spot the mistakes. And they were mistakes I’d never make myself if I wrote it manually.

Maybe don't use it for huge chunks > 10 lines? The point of copilot to me is avg typing speed is 40wpm and read is 250wpm. A 5.25x speedup considering even after I type code I still read it over. There will be errors in copilots code sometimes so even if you said its only 50% accurate thats still a 2.5x speedup on the boilerplate it's used for.
