Overall, I like CoPilot, and it has created some incredible code for me.

However, you need to (a) look for code you didn't realise that it had created when you took your eye off the ball for a moment, and (b) look at every line it has created because sometimes its intuition is either a little off or way off.

It’s still in beta mode! Definitely give feedback to help us improve. Also I wrote about use cases in this article, and I acknowledge that it’s not all the way there yet: dev.to/github/why-use-github-copil...

This wasn't meant as criticism, far from it.

It was merely a warning to always look at the created code, particularly when you didn't realise that it had created some :-)

Oh, I didn't take it as such. I was just saying when mistakes do happen or copilot does something expected..there's a feedback area in copilot where you can provide feedback and help the feature improve, so we could reduce chances of that happening.
