I teach data structures and algorithms among other subjects. My assignments are similar to everyone else's (CLRS, JeffE, Leetcode) yet different enough that simply copy and pasting will not work. All I ask is that they comment their code, analyze complexity and cite sources. I've been using copilot for the last year in my live coding sessions. It saves so much time (especially in comments). If students want to use Copilot I do not see a problem. It is just another tool. Copilot is near useless without decent programming knowledge. 80% of time it is fantastic. About 10% of time Copilot gives you subpar snippets. O(n2) instead of O(n) etc. Then 10% of time it just gives you wrong snippets. Just like GPT-3, once you go beyond a paragraph it loses context.
