It has its uses, but it is being massively overhyped.

Having trialled Copilot and a few other AI tools in my workplace, I can confidently says it’s a minor productivity booster.

Whereas I have been finding uses for it to produce things that simply could not have produced myself without it, making it far more than a mere "productivity boost."

I think people are mainly seeing what they want to see.
