   Observed: "we love CoPilot because it makes us so productive!"

   Outcome: So much babytalk code is repeated. over. and. over. because it autocompleted and nobody had to stop and think about refactoring.

   Corollary: Any given comment is wrong because it was part of the template completion and nobody customised it.

   Conclusion: Copilot enables bloated code and unreliable documentation.

   tl;dr: having to type code in like it's the Dirt Ages causes you to want to make it shorter, and smarter.
