I think the biggest misconception with a lot of the comments here is that they are assuming that the code generated by copilot is final. Copilot, as the name suggests, is a human-in-the-loop system. It requires a developer to give it prompts and to massage the code it generates. It's not intended to or will it ever feasibly be able to generate code entirely independently.
The point is that this massaging is a lot faster than writing everything from 0 in most cases. It doesn't have to be bug free. It doesn't have to be perfect quality. It doesn't have to do "the hard parts" of coding. It just has to be good enough to be sufficiently faster for the developer than starting from 0, and it is.
