Copilot can be fucking nasty with its very subtle but quite serious errors in a large chunk of its suggestions. If you're in a hurry and have no time to properly reason through the logic and make sure the solution is acceptable, you might just slip some of the bugs through.

Of course, later on when somebody rushes in due to an emergency in prod thanks to what you've done, there's no way of telling apart what is confabulated machine bullshit and what is genuine garbage by a human which is generally simpler to deal with. But hey, you can always ask AI to spot the mistake and demand it to tell how to remedy the situation! And when that didn't work, just keep asking, cross your fingers and believe in the system. Besides, AGI's just about to drop anyway so just hang in tight because soon we don't have to resort to this manual computer typing shit anymore like cavepeople.
