I disagree. 40% is not great, but unlike the masses of developers, this is a single system that can improve over time. Further, a system that can do most of the work but requires a security specialist to polish it is still a useful tool. What's important to recognize is that this is not a terribly novel concept. Unsecure code is written every day.

I’d say the exact opposite. Unlike this algorithm, developers can continue to learn. There will likely be future algorithms that are improvements, but this isn’t that.

Individual developers can learn, but they are replaced by new developers that have not learned. Sure, this specific instance of copilot is not the best, but it sure feels to me like people are discussing the concept of it, not the exact implementation right now.
