Great points. Really makes me question why so many developers were excited / worried about programming jobs being automated away by this technology. I really doubt that many jobs are going to be displaced by what is at best an improvement to autocomplete/intellisense and at worst an unreliable, copyright infringing boilerplate generator. Also agree with point #3 - I could see Copilot steering devs away from new code patterns toward whatever was most commonly seen in the existing codebases it was trained on. Doesn't seem good for innovation in that sense.
