This is an interesting and telling comment.

Whilst I get not wanting to do loads of typing, I wonder just how much time he used in defining and refining his queries to Copilot, assessing the results and understanding the code to the point where he could determine where it was "slightly wrong" and that the fix was to "change one word"...
