I can't help but think that whenever copilot is able to help with a solution, it's because the language itself doesn't allow you to express solutions concisely. I looked at the solutions in the article, and very little of the code is actually part of solving the problem. There are a few bytes of relevant information in each line.
I usually use Common Lisp, and whenever I find myself typing boilerplate of a type that copilot would be able to help with, it's because I haven't used the right abstractions.
As an extreme example of this, I solved day 1 in KAP (my APL dialect) and for the second problem, my solution was 8 characters long. There was no real need to have anything type that out for me.
