I think a good corollary here are the intellisense functions of an IDE (e.g., JetBrains, NetBeans, etc.): With an IDE, I know that when it auto-generates class methods/properties or auto-completes a method chain (i.e., boilerplate), it will pop out the same thing every time. With something like CoPilot, it's a mystery bag whose result changes based on what you put into it. I am all for saving time, but we can't pretend these are the same thing. I won't try to speak for GP, but if they're anything like me, the goal is to make the things _I know I want to write_ faster (not bring in random code and hope it works). CoPilot seems like a faster Stack Overflow, but people seem to be treating it like intellisense.
