Sometimes you don't quite know how to implement something, without thinking about it for a while. All of us would a lot of the time search StackOverflow for the solution to a simple problem, e.g.

"recursively list all the files in a directory C#"

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/929276/how-to-recursivel...

I imagine an AI copilot could streamline this, instead of searching, reading and verifying, copy pasting, and changing the variable names to my needs, I could now just type the method name, arguments, and documentation and it would similarly fill out the code for me. Then I have to check it (as I normally would).
