It doesn't though. You can still code the old fashioned way, and you are even likely to become a better programmer for it.

Personally, I tried copilot when I got it for free as a student and it didnt make a difference. The reason I know is that I was coding on two devices, one which had copilot installed the other didnt, and I didnt care enough to install it on the latter through an entire semester.

Its just slightly better autocomplete, by a questionable standard of "better".

I agree with your overall point, but Cursor's autocomplete is significantly betters than copilots.

Then don't use autocomplete.
