Copilot is a huge time and typing saver for manipulating data, richly autocompleting logging messages, mocking out objects and services in tests, etc.
If you're only expecting it to solve your hard problem completely and from scratch entirely from a prompt that's probably not going to succeed, but I can't see how you're possibly faster typing 80-90 extra characters of a log statement than a Copilot user who just presses tab to get the same thing. Those little things add up to significant time savings over a week. Same for mocking services in a test, or manipulating lists of data or any number of things it autocompletes where you'd previously need to author a short script to perform or learn advanced vim movements and recording macros to emulate.
