My job subscribed to Copilot but I ended up disabling it after a few days, I just found it enormously distracting and providing little value. From what I saw the predictions were very accurate, but constantly having something pop up as I type just kept nudging me out of my concentration state. Oddly I don’t feel the same about typical IDE autocomplete, so I’m not sure where the cutoff is there.

For me it felt like having someone trying to finish every sentence I’m speaking: even if they’re right 100% of the time, it’s still very distracting and more than a little irritating.



In a way that seems a bit like delayed auditory feedback: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_auditory_feedback

And I wonder if different types of people react to it as differently as the stutter/non-stutter dichotomy.
