Yeah this has been my experience. I bucket my work largely into two categories - "creative work" and "toil". I don't want or need AI to replace my creative work, but the more it can handle toil for me, the better. As it happens, I think co-pilot is a pretty poor user experience, because it's essentially just an autocomplete, which doesn't really help me all that much, and often gets in my way. I like using Cursor with the autocomplete turned off. It gives you the option to highlight a bit of text and either refactor it with a prompt, or ask a question about it in a side chat window. That puts me in the driver seat, so to speak, so I (the user) can reach out to AI when I want to.
