Technology will grow and improve regardless if you embrace it. Ai without a doubt will start replacing jobs. Programming likely won’t be any time soon. The likely first job will be something like truck drivers. A massive industry that will drastically improve commerce but equally increase unemployment.

Yes, the march of technology is one thing, but to "actively embrace it" and hurry the demise of your employment is another.
But that march is also dependent upon people using it. The change of technology is dependent upon people and does not happen by itself. By extension, if people become too reliant upon AI, innovation will plateau and stagnate. AI is a complex algorithm. It has no needs of it's own. It is the needs and desires of humans that drive innovation.
Further, AI of any use or power requires vast resources which are owned by a few centralized corporations. It will be in their interest to ensure that said AI does not assist in building competing technologies or companies and their innovations. Once again we will reach a bottle neck of innovation.
It's demise (your unemployment) will come sooner the more that you use these AI assist tools.
Also, what is the licensing status of the code written with this tool? What does the fine print say? Can M$ change the terms and conditions whenever they want, thereby rendering the code produced by it theirs? They are well known for their IP grabs.
It says you own the code when you selected it.
There are however some interesting arguments about how Copilot uses software that has one license, but you may use the code under a different license.
Most of the code I see copilot create is more autocomplete style, rather than writing sections or even functions. Although it can produce larger portions of code and in some cases complete apps like the Tic Tac Toe example.
