You should register for the Copilot beta. It's pretty eye opening.
Basically it generates bog standard terrible code, because thats the majority of code. It can "Hello, world!" in most languages. Maybe it's useful for particularly boilerplate heavy languages or librairies, but for the most part it's more like StackOverflow copy-pasting except the code is worse.
So quite a long way to go.
