This idea is really interesting. I’ve been using Copilot since it became publicly available for personal side projects. Recently, I ran out of google drive space and had to use something other than google docs to write my essay for school. I booted up a text document and started writing, and then copilot started writing with me. I ran it through a plagiarism checker, and it turned out to be clean, which surprised me.

Can’t say that what it generated was particularly insightful, however it was helpful to reach an obituary word count.

I'm pretty sure you meant "obligatory" word count. But "obituary" is an awesome accident. Like Copilot is waiting, happy to sum up your life in a tidy paragraph, when the time comes.

Hahaha, you got me there! I’ll be caught one day and pay for the hours I’ve saved. At the end of the day if I can’t read what I wrote thats on me.
