Was an early adopter of Github Copilot but I quickly turned it off because of the noise. I really like AI for "gap filling" (for example, I used AI extensively to help me write my bash deployment scripts for simpatico.io) and porting tasks, both of which lend themselves to copy/paste into a browser.

When you say noise do you mean the autocomplete just spamming you all the time, like for example in the middle of writing a comment?

Yes, it would often offer unwanted and/or incorrect suggestions that I found distracting. It did not justify the 10% of useful suggestions it made. My usage pattern turns out to be quite copy/paste friendly - it leaves my editor quiet but still gives me the ability to answer "knowledge gap" type questions.
