    I literally did an interview that went like this:

    1. Applicant used copilot to generate nontrivial amounts of the code
    2. Copilot generated the wrong code for a key part of the algorithm; applicant didn’t notice
    3. We pointed it out, they fixed it
    4. They had to refactor the code a bit, and ended up making the same exact mistake again
    5. We pointed out the error again…

    And that’s in an interview, where you should be extra careful to make a good impression…
