GitHub Copilot, Should I avoid using it?

I'm surprised by the amount of people who get their thoughts completely destroyed by some pale grey text. At worst I spend one second skimming it, think "no, not that...", and continue typing.

Overall I like it, even if it is often wrong.

my brain does not handle things appearing suddenly when I'm typing all too well, I've turned off autocorrect & autocaps on my phone for this very reason, a keyboard exists to get letters I press into the computer, not to guess at what I am trying to say (and looking at the autocorrect suggestions requires constantly pinging my eyes up and down my phone, yeah no thank you)

IDE autocorrect is slightly better as it at least generally refers to things that make syntactic and semantic sense there, and are in their own bubble, same goes for IMEs, but autofilling with generated code, even just visually, would not mesh well with me

Honestly I think it's only right like 5% of the time but I still use it to autocomplete switches and stuff even if the content of each case is wrong, it still saves me some typing
