In my experience power saws and power drills don't steal intellectual property without telling you.

On a less snarky note, this seems like a pretty serious exaggeration. You could have learned about .every() and .some() in many many other ways

Depends on the granularity of your copilot use. Generating entire classes or non-trivial functions from a prompt vs. generating just the next few lines at a time. Pretty hard to "steal intellectual property" when the comment you wrote as a prompt was "// remove all items from myArray that have the provided prefix"

Yeah but I didn't because it was an unknown unknown. How would I have learned about .every() when I didn't know it existed? Copilot as a discovery engine is a fantastic way to learn about language features you didn't know about.

That was just one recent example. Copilot occasionally suggests ways of doing things I didn't know about and that were even better than my original approach.
