Wikipedia's code quality tends to be "sophomoric". Most of the algorithms aren't production quality and have poor edge conditions.

I suspect Copilot won't even be up to that standard.

Disagree slightly with the "sophomoric" bit -- it's just that wiki code is usually meant to be Pseudocode, I think.

My objection to that term is only because being at the beginning of a learning curve isn't bad per se. Neither is writing Pseudocode.

Your conclusion is right, however.
