I use copilot to "next" for me. It's really good at that and it saves a lot of time.
By nexting, I think you know what I mean. What a reasonably intelligent junior would figure out you were doing, once you started doing it. Like if you have a bunch of cases in a match or if-tree, and you started doing the first one, he would know what you were up to and more or less get it right.
Anything more complex, I've occasionally been positively surprised, but mostly it's just plain wrong, though obviously wrong so it didn't throw me off.
I find that people have wildly different expectations about what LLMs will do for us, and this colours whether they are satisfied or not. For me, I'm very happy with copilot, it definitely saves me time, but I also wasn't expecting it to do much beyond guessing my next lines. I always thought I'd be the one to understand the grand structure and it would be the fast typing graduate, and that's how it turned out.
