   "Microsoft’s Copilot was made available to a limited number of testers
    in June 2021 and is now being used by over 10,000 developers who are
    producing, on average, around 35 percent of their code in popular
    languages like Python and Java using Copilot, Microsoft says. The
    company plans to make Copilot available for anyone to download this summer.
    To build something like the Minecraft bot, developers would need to work
    with the underlying AI model, Codex.

    Both Codex and Copilot have stirred up some anxiety among developers,
    who fear they could be automated out of a job. The Minecraft demo
    could inspire similar concerns. But Scott says the feedback on Copilot
    has been largely positive, suggesting that it simply automates more
    tedious coding tasks. “If you talk to a developer who actually uses a
    Copilot, they'll say ‘this is such a great tool,’” he says.

I guess we'll know, when the first wave of layoffs start :-)

But when your rich uncle pays for all the electricity,
the balance sheet for this approach does not matter.
I drive a Cadillac to the dump... "because the roads are
so bad there".
