I think I must be living in a parallel reality where-in everything innovative is shutdown for one reason or the other.
From the short-time I've used it, it's clear that Github Co-Pilot is just a fancy Google Search in that it helps with remembering syntax and keywords which is already helpful, in speeding-up the boiler-plate writing and so is really a big help.
No one is supposed to mindlessly follow the Github Co-Pilot suggestions and of course if judged by that metric it won't help with code quality; but if used properly to quickly type-out boiler-plate code then that is when it becomes useful.
How many times does anyone want to write a for-loop or remember the syntax of how to declare something, especially when juggling multiple programming languages? It's these kinds of things that Co-pilot is good at.
