But I am concerned about the security and quality of the resulting code. There’s already too much “development by StackOverflow” going on, with all the consequences for quality and security one can imagine. Copilot takes this up another notch, as noted recently in the BlackHat conference (German article that does a good job summarizing at https://www.heise.de/news/Programmierhilfe-GitHub-Copilot-macht-Code-unsicherer-7217314.html, original paper at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2108.09293.pdf).
