Tools like Copilot will always be one step behind: as soon as we are able to avoid writing boilerplate code (auth, api endpoints, etc.), the requirements of the software we need to write go up by an order of magnitude, and there is no tool that can help us. We need to wait for the tooling to learn from our creative efforts. By the time the tools are able to automate the more complex software needed, then again requirements have gone up another level, and again human creativity to the rescue.
Unless, of course, we are talking about a general purpose AI that can "think" like a human. But I think that's sci-fi for now.
