Not really. I often use Chat to understand codebases. Instead trying to navigate mature, large-ish FOSS projects (like say, the Android Run Time) by looking at it file by file, method by method, field by field (all to laborious), I just ask ... Copilot. It is way, way faster than I and are mostly directionally correct with its answers.
