Though i do wonder if it'll improve my ability to read code. PRs are a pain because i find it easier to write than read. I'd pay for Copilot in a heartbeat if it was good at spotting PR errors/etc.

By experience though it’s best to go line by line rather than accepting whole function autcompletes.
For me, I found incredibly useful for generating test cases. It will type out test functions for various conditions, stuff that is normal really tedious to code.
Sometimes is eerie, how how well it knows exactly what next line should be. Countless times it filled in an important detail that I hadn’t thought of.
It’s not perfect at all, sometimes it goes off on tangents or writes incorrect code.
I don’t think you even have to pay for copilot. At least it’s free for me.
It costs 10$/month 100$/year for individual users.
EDIT: GitHub Copilot is free to use for verified students, teachers, and maintainers of popular open source projects
