I tend to write a comment of what I want to do, and have Copilot suggest the next 1-8 lines for me. I then check the code if it’s correct and fix it if necessary.
For small tasks it’s usually good enough, and I’ve already written a comment explaining what the code does. It can also be convenient to use it to explore an unknown library or functionality quickly.
“Unknown library” often means a rather small and sparely documented and used library tho, for me. Which means AI makes everything even worse by hallucinating.

I meant a library unknown to me specifically. I do encounter hallucinations every now and then but usually they’re quickly fixable.
It’s made me a little bit faster, sometimes. It’s certainly not like a 50-100% increase or anything, maybe like a 5-10% at best?
