Oh yea, point 1 for sure. I call copilot regex on steroids.
Example:
- copy paste a table from a pdf datasheet into a comment (it'll be badly formatted with newlines and whatnot, doesn't matter)
- show it how to do the first line
- autocomplete the rest of the table
- Check every row to make sure it didn't invent fields/types
For this type of workflow the tools are a real time saver. I've yet to see any results for the other workflows. They usually just frustrate me by either starting to suggest nonsense code without full understanding, or its far too easy to bias the results and make them stuck in a pattern of thinking.
