While this will definitely be an issue in the short term, it's part of a long standing series of panics where a new technology develops, and everyone worries that we'll lose the skills it abstracts away. And to some degree we will! I certainly can't do long division anymore, and I struggle to navigate my own neighborhood without GPS. This is a bit sad, but I think something of an inevitability. If history is any guide, academics should embrace the new tech and try to teach students bigger things that copilot can't yet handle, with the assumption that they'll use copilot to fill in some details--the same way we now teach students to use graphing calculators to solve problems that would have been out of reach for their grandparents. There are so many things I never learned as an undergrad because we were too focused on algorithms. Database design, testing strategies, different architectures, programming language design, etc. Maybe these things can come to the forefront of the curriculum if we don't need to drill basic algorithms.
