Copilot was worse than useless in my situation. My team tested it out and immediately were losing productivity due to it. Terrible autocomplete is worse than just jumping over to ChatGPT or Claude when we actually need help. It literally was so bad we all overwhelmingly said “no, but can we get something like please”.
