Personally using Codex, not Copilot, but similar engine.
It's really good for boilerplate. Things like TDD tests where I'm just modifying a few parameters. You can get it to write functions like "parse this DateTime object into a format like Tuesday, 15 May 2020".
It's a useful lookup too. Like often I just want to extract a variable from a List and would spend 15 mins looking up the docs or sifting Stack Overflow. Codex is more faster and accurate.
With GPT-3 it's garbage in, garbage out. You have to invest a few days in learning the prompts that work.
Yeah, just copying to a preset on the playground. Whenever I try to reach out to Stack Overflow or get stuck on documentation, I'd open up Codex.
It's possible to set up an API to it, but it's not yet at the point where it's worth doing. I think it's possible to get Codex to write the script, now that I think about it.
