Just look into the name of the program. It's "copilot" and in my understanding the intention is just to give suggestion and in not to write provably correct program which matches some given specification. Think of it as 10x of autocomplete, not 1/10x of human replacement.

A "copilot" is also a pilot and can take over when needed. The name does not imply helper, cheerleader or advisor.

Co-Pilots are fully qualified pilots. They can take over 100% of the jobs of the Captain if they need to.

Just like Tesla’s Autopilot, this was poorly named, at a minimum.
