> 1) copilot is a terrific auto complete, and writes tremendous amounts of repetitive boilerplate
I term this "low-entropy code". Copilot is great at writing heaps and heaps of low-entropy code.
The thing is, if you're not paid by LOC, and care about your system as a whole, you normally strive to get rid of code if possible (any code is liability), and make the rest of it high-entropy.
Today's terrific autocomplete is tomorrow's legacy shit you have to deal with.
