Github Copilot can - in some domains - make me 30% more productive. Once it becomes commonplace and the legal issues are sorted, luddites who refuse to use it will be left in the dust.
But how knowing to code without AI will leave me in the dust? I will know less? Or I will be so slow that the management will oust me?
After measuring my "performance" trough corporate timer for code per minute?
It absolutely is. That's the main way Github Copilot works.

They probably won't oust you but they will notice that your colleagues are much more productive than you and your salary will fall behind.
1. The weird implication that people who use tools are doing so to make up for lack of skill. This is so obviously misguided I'm not sure where to start.
2. Dismissing AI as "a procedural generator". It's clearly much more than that.
3. Assuming that the 30% of my job that AI does is the valuable bit. It isn't. AI mainly relieves the tedious stuff at the moment (looking stuff up, typing semi-repetitive code, etc.).
4. Trying to make yourself feel better by asserting that people who use IDEs are worse than you, or that I don't understand my work. Rather pathetic.
