If thats what they are aiming at, I feel like their AI is actually suppose to be the pilot and the user the copilot

In my experience, which consists of using copilot for about ten minutes, literally every single suggestion is wrong, and if you're not careful it'll insert the shitty code and then you have to go back and find out why the code isn't working.
I'd rather have Lizzo shum on my face than use copilot
I would rather paint a portrait by myself, spending the time to do it, rather than asking some computer prompt to spit me out a picture. Same logic applies with coding for me.
...but what am I going to do while it's compiling?
"Microsoft Says Copilot" is like a Two Sentence horror story for me now.
Technically true, but nobody said the code will be at all functional. I'm pretty sure I can finish about 800000 coffees before Copilot generates anything usable that is longer than 3 lines.
I do NOT want to have ditch Windows after this long. Microsoft. Please don't just carve a big, Copilot-pilot-shape hole out of Windows and weld it in there, expecting that that is somehow what your users want.
Of course, I do look forward to the brave new era of "Sam Altman will shut you down unless" being the new "run as administrator"
But, will it work, huh? HUH?
I can also type a bunch of random sentences of words. Doesn’t make it more understandable.
but can YOU do it before I finish my coffee?

But... But I don't want it to. 😮💨
To safely put it out just pee on it.
yeah but then you have to fix everything in the code that they didn't get right.
like using it to automate a shell is fine; but trusting it blindly and treating it as the finishing product? you're delusional.
Make it de the shit I don't want to do, then we'll talk
