There's something very "late stage capitalism" about pouring torrents of capital into tools that can replace human ingenuity, artistry and creativity while starving stuff like infrastructure, space travel, etc.
The only times I've use copilot is when I want to execute my creative goals more easily rather than waste mental energy on the boring parts. It's weird and sad that you see it the other way around
Capitalism is about profit. Infrastructure is financed when it brings profit, and ignored when it stops doing that. E.g. railroad boom and the current state of railroads.
When someone figured that space can bring profit too, we got some developments in space travel as well.
