Wow, it actually sounds like a great tool for someone who doesn't actually know how to program at all but still managed to get a programming job. Sounds like it could be literally years until they realize you don't know how to program and are using a GPT-3-type completer.

Copilot does a great job of example functions like “function that posts a tweet with the current time”

It falls apart when writing actual code that exists in an app. I’m not convinced even the lowest junior dev could get away with not knowing programming.
