I agree, although some messages are still cryptic for a newbie like me, but thats maybe more the person on the chair than the compiler 😇.

I'd estimate copilot to be correct in only 10% of the time, solving a situation like that. Most of the time the solution suggested is also wrong, but just differently.

Having said that: sometimes (small chance, 1% maybe) the solution is spot on.

AI mainly helps with the initial syntax and on language constructs and for that it is awesome.
