"...does not gives you any social signals lower experienced engineers can use to discern quality or correctness" is very astute.

I experienced this in practice. I was pairing with an inexperienced engineer who was using Copilot. He was blindly accepting every Copilot suggestion that came up.

When I expressed doubt in the generated code (incorrect logic + unnecessarily complex syntax), he didn't believe me and instead trusted that the AI was right.
