Not smart enough to write a full program by itself, that’s why its called copilot. It’s GPT-3 for code, so like how GPT is useful for inspiration when creative writing, Copilot can autocomplete code, useful if the code is just a comment describing what you want a function to do. It generates multiple results, so you can pick the best one. Even if the solution provided doesn’t work, it is still helpful to the programmer who can make a few corrections, which is easier than writing all the code without Copilot.
