This makes sense to me -- I find that if I ask it to generate more than, say, a paragraph of code at a time[1], I'd be much better off just writing it myself.

That said, I have issues with RSI, so every saved keystroke is extremely useful to me. I find Copilot's ability to accurately predict the next, say, ten words I'm about to type very useful.

The usual insult thrown at LLMs is that they're "fancy autocomplete". I think that's actually about right, and I'm extremely sceptical about any claims made about their critical thinking skills which I think are essentially non-existent. Where I differ with most AI-sceptics is that I think fancy autocomplete is incredibly valuable.

[1]: Let's say that's about a mid-sized function definition.
