Given how fast Copilot is (a few seconds), I wouldn't mind waiting 10x. I also wouldn't mind letting it run overnight for some tasks (ie: write documentation, write tests, suggest bug fixes, etc...). Will check on my buddy on the next morning.

I think the UX of large suggestions will require a lot of thinking and experimentation. That's because the longer the output of such model, higher the risk of it making some mistake. For short completions, it's often easy to identify mistakes from useful suggestions (though sometimes subtle bugs slip in). But for longer completion, it'll get tedious and we might start accepting wrong suggestions.
That sounds like modern day outsourcing
