I 100% agree. I especially love when copilot literally just starts making up shit that doesn't work or doesn't exist. Like it can't be wrong. It just freaking guesses... God forbid it can't admit it doesn't have enough data to answer the question.
Best part is when you say "that command doesn't exist" it's like "I apologize. Here is a real command to accomplish your task"
SMH
Again, to your point, I agree that copilot is amazing if you already know how to write the code you want. We're smart enough to know that the suggestions will work for our task. It's definitely not smart enough to replace you
