I would say the risk is minimal. You need to bait Copilot really hard for it to produce anything coherent from existing code. That's simply not how you use it.

Regardless, the risk need to be really big for me to stop using it. It's such an essential tool for me now that I get shocked how crippled I feel when internet stops working and I realize how much I depend on it.

Then perhaps it's better not to depend on such a tool.
No way. I would rather stop programming altogether than go back to life before Copilot. You've already lost this one.
What about the tool is so intoxicating you'd give up a lucrative career if you lost it?
