I certainly see the value in solutions like GitHub Copilot (if implemented well), at least, from three perspectives: a) 𝐩𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 (by allowing developers, especially beginners, to see the diversity in different approaches to potential solutions for specific problems), b) 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 [of course, it should be used with care and, generally, the quality of relevant suggestions from this angle is still TBD] and c) 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 (this is especially relevant for programming languages and frameworks with lots of boilerplate code - e.g., C#/.NET, Java). Spending much less time on typing typically very verbose boilerplate code will give software developers much more time to spend on truly valuable and important activities, such as problem solving, architecting, collaborating.
