I have no problem with that. But let's not kid ourselves that 'automating' a bit of typing elevates a developer to some godlike level. A good chunk of regular developers point and click their way through their day, use dogshit editors without knowing a keyboard shortcut beyond save/copy/paste/undo, and work with tech and codebases that they actively have to fight to be productive. They still exist despite all of the other productivity boons out there.

I'm not saying copilots aren't useful. I'm saying that this "you'll be left behind" rhetoric smacks of crypto esque hype.
