Alright, I can accept that. We're mostly describing the same thing, and it's a question of focusing on the silver lining -- golden nuggets -- over the rest of the thing, which could be seen as crap or could be seen as the casing of a gold nugget.
Given that framing, what expectation can there be that an automated platform like CoPilot can acquire the wisdom to recognize gold from dirt? I believe it may be a question of does the overlapping, correlated portions of code from the corpus of repos signal the gold or signal the common dirt encasing the gold?
I largely expect it's the latter, and that the trends copilot is likely to recognize and use as foundations for its suggestions are motivated from dirt. To accept them and to learn from them is to internalize a horse without a cart philosophy.
