I think you need to try it if you want to understand how it can be useful. I also tend to write as little code as possible. Since I started using Copilot, I don't write more code nor less code. I write the exact same code I would have written without Copilot, I'm just 25% more productive with it.

Are you a webdev? Cus I have been purely a game dev my whole career. I never wrote a single web-app until very recently when I learned some web frameworks to make simple backends for hobby projects of mine in my spare time.. I was kinda shocked how much boilerplate there is and how proscriptive the web frameworks are (I have done some node.js and asp.net) Also for non typed or compiled langauges like javascript the IDE support and autocomplete seems almost non-existent compared to what I am used to. I would imagine something like autopilot would be more useful in that context.
