> Copilot can help me cook the equivalent of a McDonalds special in terms of software. It's good, I think McDonalds is delicious.

No. The likes of Copilot help you cook the meal you'd like, how you'd like it. In some cases it forgets to crack open eggs, in other cases it cooks a meal far better than whatever you'd be able to pull together in your home kitchen. And does it in seconds.

The "does it in seconds" is the key factor. Everyone heard of the "million monkeys with a typewriter" theorem. The likes of Copilot is like that, but it takes queues and gathers context and is supervised by you. The likes of Copilot is more in line with a lazy intern that you need to hand-hold to get them to finish their assignment. And with enough feedback and retries, it does finish the assignment. With flying colors.
