"In order to generate suggestions, GitHub Copilot transmits part of the file you are editing to the service."
Well, isn't GitHub part of Microsoft now? No wonder it has gained telemetry...
I'm a bit worried that this thing will lead to even more bugs like the typical StackOverflow copy&paste which compiles fine, runs OK, but completely doesn't understand the context and thereby introduces subtle difficult to find issues.
My personal take on autocomplete has always been that I only use it so that I can use longAndDescriptiveFunctionNames. Apart from that, if your source code is so verbose that you wish you didn't have to type all of it, something else probably already went wrong.
