I generally agree with two reservations. First I find that there are two types of inaccuracies on Wikipedia. Mistakes that I sometimes fix, and bias that is not worth fixing because people trying to sneak in bias are dedicated and have a lot of free time. See e.g. edits made by the user named Erik on this article[1]. They've been persistently making the same edit for years and the only reason we can see it is that they don't obfuscate their activity by using different usernames.
Second, I'm optimistic that most bugs are found before code is even committed, so people will quickly learn that generated code needs to be carefully reviewed. I don't have access to Copilot, but if I did, I presume the way I'd use it is that I'd always comment out the generated code and just use it as a quick reference.
