Yeah, this point I really don't get.

Your job as a programmer is to ensure the correctness of the code you write, Copilot isn't really changing that.

If you went to school in CS, think about the worst programmer in your graduating class. You don't think they are going to mindlessly accept the autocomplete as long as it compiles? I can imagine this will lead to a lot of bad code making it into production.

So? Systems should be in place to review code.

If you don't have these systems in place, you're getting what you deserve. Hiring subpar talent and not having processes in place isn't Copilot's fault.

This is almost like blaming the car for an accident. If you have a shitty driver and the traffic lights aren't working, it's not your Corolla's fault.

You’d have to believe auto completion is evil too I guess
