The other day I decided to write a script (that I needed for a project, but ancillary, not core code) entirely with CoPilot. It wasn't particularly long (maybe 100 lines of python). It worked. But I had to iterate so much with the LLM, repeating instructions, fixing stuff that didn't run, that it took a fair bit longer than if I had just written it myself. And this was a fairly vanilla data science type of script.
