My experience was very similar. Copilot became a sort of improved autocomplete, that would save copy/pasting repeated variable names into tests, logs, etc, but offered no other significant improvements. Its suggestions were frequently incorrect, often not obviously so.

This is all it takes for me to get value out of my subscription. It's saving me time by anticipating my next test / block of code based on what I've previously written, and that saved time really adds up.

Sure it's not "Jesus take the wheel" level AI yet, but time is money, and so is my sanity.
