GPT-4 has a model capable of using around 50 pages of written text worth of tokens (32,000) not sure exactly how many lines of code that translates to but it’s a lot. GPT-3 can use 4k so that’s a huge increase, the next version could be even larger and there are other ML techniques that allow for massive context lengths. Copilot already does a good job of refactoring code and knows enough about your code base to use your functions and methods. So what the other commenter said does not sound impossible to me.

Is there a proof that context length increase will result in a better result? It’s a possIbility, but not certain.

It isn't anywhere near being able to diagnose anything more than off-by-one and other common errors.
Identifying hose problems will bring a LOT of value - but it isn't going to program and do general problem solving for you! It just has no signs of being able to do that.
