Copilot has been more impactful for 'unproductive' stuff for me. Not as good at handling the code related to my job, as it's a math heavy beast in an extremely niche field. But great for my hobby, writing little bots to toy around with various things. Lets me skip remembering or looking up a lot of basic implementation details of talking to the service APIs, drastically speeding up the time to get a functional prototype.
As others have mentioned, it's great for speeding up all the little boilerplate and other things too simple or otherwise too unrelated to the main goal.
Sometimes it almost works like rubberduck-development, by seeing what Copilot spits out, I have sometimes realized earlier than otherwise, that I missed certain components/checks that I should probably plan ahead for (eg remembering to add a convenient way to handle user profiles for a bot).
