If people say Dalle can improve the workflow of digital artists, sure, but Copilot hasn't revolutionized programming either, you still have to be a good programmer to finish whatever you are doing:
> A paper accepted for publication in the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy in 2022 assessed the security of code generated by Copilot [...] The study found that across these axes in multiple languages, 39.33% of top suggestions and 40.73% of total suggestions lead to code vulnerabilities. Additionally, they found that small, non-semantic (i.e., comments) changes made to code could impact code safety.[14]
What happened next? Is anyone using copilot for serious work? Has it changed programming in a fundamental way?
I personally have zero use for copilot since the for type of code I write the actual code writing is not a bottle neck, so automating that process is of no value to me. On top of that getting the details exactly right is essential so the ratio of boiler plate to real code is very, very low for me.
You might be missing the point of what OpenAI is doing. The point is to show off the capability of their models in a way that's likely to go viral and lead to more business for OpenAI. Some people laughed at GPT-3's silly demos, but when they launched GitHub Copilot...
