I found copilot to be less useful than autocomplete. Typical autocomplete suggests things that actually exist and work in the codebase. While Copilot would suggest things that look superficially like names that exist or ways I might have named it, but very often just wrong.

I find typed languages like Rust or Typescript make VS Code super powered and provides much more value than copilot.

Not surprisingly (Google's internal code analysis tooling is quite sophisticated), Google has added a post-processing filter to remove results that don't compile, but that's not publicly available: https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/07/ml-enhanced-code-completio...
