That's why it's still in beta. But stable enough for you to use it, as SnazzyQ says.

Fully agreed. It's just people getting mad and jealous but hear me out.

Copilot is NOT SELLING coed other people wrote, it is simply acting as a curator to show you all the solutions people HAVE WRITTEN for free.

Copilot does NOT write entire programs, it's simply an assistant. And there is not much copyright you CAN apply to 3-4 lines of generally understandable code.

I've used Copilot and am actively paying for and I have not seen many cases where it's generating bad code. It's only there to remove boilerplate and common problems, not there to write entire applications.

Why are people getting so salty?

Agree man! Lockdown was just really unjustified on society.

It made no sense for such a minor disease which I'm sure would have been dismissed as flu 60 years ago.

I don't know what caused this overreaction, sure for 30-40 days but this thing has devastated billions of lives, left millions jobless and ruined an entire generation.

It's sometimes necessary to have pandemics and diseases like this to control the population of society.

Europe practically had a renaissance after the black death.
