Thank you for the response ( especially since it does not read like a corporate damage control response ).
I will admit that I am conflicted, because I can see some really cool potential applications of Copilot, but I can't say I am not concerned if what Tim maintains is accurate for several different reasons.
Lets say Copilot becomes the way of the future. Does it mean we will be able to trust the code more or less? We already have people, who copy paste stack overflow without trying to understand what the code does. This is a different level, where machine learning seems to suggest a snippet. If it works 70% of time, we will have a new generation of programmers management always wanted.
