I don't hold the average developer in very high regard. There are tons of developers who are much better than me and I readily read their books, follow their tweets, blog posts and online talks to learn from them. I hold them in high regard, but these people are not the average developer. If you would pick any smaller company with a dev team, a freelancer or an agency, your chances of finding a developer who understands and upholds quality code is vastly reduced. Not to mention a lot of beginners will just push their practice projects to GitHub and never look at it again. I'm also guilty of this, but I never realized Microsoft was training AI with this code. If Copilot is learning from these projects then I'd say the code it regurgitates is not average, but even below average.
