I should try Codeium then, Copilot's occasional "heap of code" was one of the most annoying parts of using it to me. Why? Because it looks plausible, so I accept it without actually understanding it. But using it as a better autocomplete is actually quite nice, for example when I have some more repetitive code to write. And a line-by-line AI completer will at least give me the time to read it piecemeal, which I find much easier. Just like I understood way better when my math teacher demonstrated how to solve a problem compared to reading it from the textbook.

I'm already in the flow with copilot so I'm pretty good at expecting when it's useful. Basically I use it as AI copy paste. When I have variations of methods or conditional logic copilot is great at one shot solutions and it's trivial to verify (if it's wrong somehow then I would have done the wrong thing as well - it just saves me a minute of copy/paste and refactoring) copilot was just better.
