How GitHub Copilot will Change Developers Life

GitHub Copilot will open the door to the many changes in the industry, but the degree to which those changes will be favorable or detrimental is still unknown. Recently, the performance of the Copilot was benchmarked against a set of Python functions, which has a good test coverage in the open-source repos. The team cleared the function bodies and kept only the function names and docstrings. Copilot could fill them in correctly 43% of the time in the first attempt, and the accuracy increased to 57% after ten attempts. Similar to most AI tools, Copilot also gets smarter over time based on the data it collects from users.
