Microsoft tried enforcing copilot on their developer, I can't find the link but there are some great issues in github where the developers tried arguing with the AI that goes a little like this:
"copilot, can you fix the bug explained in this issue?" "Sure I can, here's a pull request to fis issue #6969" "This code doesn't fix the issue explained, you must do x and y to fix it..." "You are correct! Here's another pull request where I did X and Y to fix the issue!" "No, you didn't..." "You are right! Here's another pull request..."
So on and so forth
I am definitely not surprised at this one bit. As someone who has been programming for decades, there are just parts of the job that require you to think and isn't just copy and pasting existing code. That is where this technology is going to fail to meet the hype.
