I'm sure it'll get better, but I've played around with it and gotten pretty garbage results. React components that violated the rule of hooks (that still has problems even if your ask it to correct that bug), attempts to access non-existent API methods, and often code that just doesn't do what's asked.
Really the only prompts I've gotten decent results for were asking it to write a one-off script that interacted only with a single well-documented API like Github's. It even gets that wrong sometimes by just imagining non-existent fields on Github's APIs.
I can see it being useful one day, but I still find Copilot to be much more usable even in its v1 incarnation.
