I find them extremely distracting. Evaluating a suggestion is, for me, an entirely different mental process from the creative process I’m in the middle of. The tagline that copilot helps you stay in the flow is very much not my experience.

I am well aware that others are having a different experience with it.

I've found I am naturally ignoring the large complex suggestions because they usually have mistakes, and accepting the small easy suggestions. I respect your experience though, to each their own.

Mine doesn't even make complex suggestions. I can't get it to suggest more than one line at a time. Wonder what's different? I'm on the beta.

The thing can generate whole unit tests if you leave it a one-like description in a comment next to the function you want tested. It’s actually amazing.

For example, sometimes I'll start out with a code comment for a function, hit enter and the next line suggestion will be the entire function.

The Industrial Challenges section of the paper addresses specific areas of flow disruption they focused on.

Some folks may never accept AI code completion / suggestions (like some prefer vim over modern IDEs) but at least people working on this stuff can describe points known to focus on.
