Not really. I tried Copilot for a while, and I was really frustrated and disappointed. I used it for a bit over a year, and I found that more often than not it just made different busywork for me. Instead of it saving me time, I ended up having to tweak the result. The most common problem was that I couldn't get it to produce decent code, and I burned so much time trying to get it to that I lost track of what I was doing and I fell rapidly out of flowstate.

Removing distractions is essential to maintaining a healthy flowstate, and all of the AI tools I've tried so far are first and foremost a distraction.
