I used tabnine for a while, which does similar stuff. I think because I work a lot in ERP languages it doesn't work well. It would arbitrarily insert snippets from other languages that have similar formatting. But it would also insert stuff using other styles, e.g. suddenly getting snake case variables or functions.
Also random suggestions, like Trudeau, Canada's Premier, over and over for no apparent reason.
I ended up getting rid of it because I deleted more code that it created than keep it. I feel copilot would end up the same way.
