The cynic in me is thinking that marketing folks at Microsoft/Github are giggling endlessly at all the stories giving them free and extreme publicity. This is enforced by the recent post by Github 'analyzing' the copilot's code regurgitation, instead of retracting and retraining it on more defined subset of codebases.

This thing is worthless at best, annoying at everything and terrifyingly capable of destroying every programmer's productivity at worst. But it will stay, it will grow because stupid execs will keep dreaming of replacing their engineering talent with this, and Microsoft will laugh all the way to the bank.
