Yep, I find that Copilot etc. respond very well to pseudocode comments, so much so that I can write a comment about a particularly gnarly bunch of syntax I'd otherwise need to write, and (even in a language I use every day) it takes me out of flow less to have Copilot write that for me. Because Copilot knows how to match brackets, can think of descriptive names for temporary variables, all those things that I don't want to have to worry about. I can keep my eye on how the interactions work together, the temporal flow of data through the application, things like that.

If the price of this is sometimes needing to learn to ignore the gray text before I write that pseudocode comment, well... it's no worse than Clippy, and we all survived that era fine!
