Yea, that's the major problem. I'd prefer just some sort of inline helper that could point directly to documentation, topics, stack overflow answers that might be helpful for whatever I'm developing. An enhanced "Intellisense" or something. That to me, is better, because ultimately it's up to the developer to place scrutiny on the solution. You basically can't blindly accept the implementation which makes this just a constant code review, of yourself? I dunno. This just seems half-baked

Copilot does approximately that, but instead of showing you code that's written independently it adapts to your variable names and context.
