Seems like with all AI-enabling and just works out of the box experiences with VSCode and alike, makes GNU Emacs absolete. I’m aware of AI packages for GNU Emacs, but don’t think is worth the investiement so much; I would mostly save it for org mode, TUI, and some other few packages. But for programming, it doesn’t seem lile worth the investment, and use VSCode instead.
Certainly knowing things will always be valuable - but the effect of assistants and LLMs may be to change what it is valuable to know by devaluing a great heap of current generation’s programmers’s stock and trade.
As an addenda: by value in the above I mean “instrumental value” or more specifically, valuable to the rich who want to exploit the skills of others to become yet richer. There is always intrinsic value to knowing for the people who love to know.

Copilot’s integration with VSCode is slick.
Copilot violates a number of licenses, possibly including mine, by mixing other people’s code into yours without giving proper credits.
🤷 I don’t use it, but I acknowledge that it looks slick, having seen other people use it.
It’s always nice to see a computer do your work for you. I agree. ;-)
However, GNU Emacs can do that too.
Maybe they will pay a little fine—and you won’t be getting the money either—while their profits skyrocket. It’s always like this, so I don’t even bother.
