> I still find it a helpful tool, but it is not at all a good, seasoned programmer

How quickly the goalposts move! Two years ago it was "AI will never be able to write code", now we're complaining that "AI is not a seasoned programmer". What are we going to be complaining about, two years from now?

I’m not really complaining, I’m saying it’s useful, but don’t pretend it’s better than what it is. It’s cruise control on a car— makes long drives better, but doesn’t literally drive for you.

GitHub Copilot was released nearly three years ago.
