How is Copilot's behavior changing over time?

And has anyone successfully used Copilot to do simple but tedious things like generate library bindings for various languages? I suspect that Copilot would be good at this kind of thing because it is a relatively simple task and there is a lot of training-code available.

I use Copilot primarily as a tab-complete bot, essentially only accepting its input if that's what I was going to type. It is correct mayb ~95% of the time, but depending on the programming language it will try to suggest a large block of code that I don't really trust (in my usage, it loves to spit out Python but in my Java codebase it sticks to boilerplate or finishing my line for me).
