Co-pilot can write some small very simple functions for me, sometimes saving me the need to look at documentation. It will still often fail at those, in my experience, and will consistently fail at anything more complex.
It will get better, but currently it's only a small help.
it really helps with the boring parts and takss that require doing the same thing over and over;
for example, i use it to generate mapping functions (like in my (abandoned) gba emulator project, function that maps arm instruction type enum to function pointers was generated almost entirely by chatgpt)
