I use Copilot in VS Code and I was highly sceptical of it at first. It's true that it will often make mistakes if you ask it for complex things, but for me the real value is in auto-completing all the low-value tasks, like writing docstrings and refactoring existing code. I do use it to write new code from time to time, but I always validate the generated code and never allow it to generate more than a few lines at a time. In saying that, it can be fun to write a comment explaining the code I'm about to write, and then letting Copilot generate the code itself based on the comment. It's very rare that Copilot will get it fundamentally wrong - it's usually spot-on or mostly correct.

I also use ChatGPT for higher-level questions - like figuring out an approach to solve a problem, or asking it for suggestions on how to refactor a file.

I pay for both and get tremendous value from both.
