It's good to read a less dramatic take on Copilot. The initial echo chamber of outrage felt rather strange, especially considering the usual attitude when people point out risks in AI systems. I guess everyone else's reading-file-line-by-line loops in python are the epitome of creativity, and being inspired by them is its own category of crime compared to the exact same thing happening in uncreative professions such as photography, music, or writing? And not being hired because the algorithm prefers people who played lacrosse in school is, like, your problem, because waiting to release models until they do not harm anyone would seriously mess with our agile process.

As an aside, I really enjoyed the writing style. The subtle humour is better at signalling competence and friendliness than any CV ever could.
