OP resonates. I was also using Copilot in March and it got me through some important parts of my project, the bash scripts I needed to write for setup. But it didn't do a great job on the application itself, apart from writing pretty decent comments after I wrote the code. (Which is funny, because it seems most people go the opposite direction...). Yeah it's hard to be creative in this space because of the noise, even without AI. Everyone has so many ideas and there is so much code in so many libraries and tools and it's like trying to play music that's similar to, but not the same, as something someone is playing on trumpet right beside you.
Discovering your control over this cacaphony is an extremely satisfying experience. And, after some time, you realize that silence is the default, and that cacaphony is life and it's good that it's there, but it's also nice to leave it in the distance, a tinny-sounding speck you leave behind while you hike in the wilderness.
