Copilot, as you explained, seems to be a step further in world of AI. More sophisticated and more skilled.
With advancement in every kind of technology there are always voices of humanity in danger. The truth is that no-one can put mankind in danger unless mankind wants it to happen.
AI appears to take several tasks men used to do before, so we think it will snatch our jobs. The question is hasn't the technology replaced man power before but humans find other new things to perform.
The purpose of AI is to assist us and make us more productive. It is up to us if we wanna fall the victim of laziness and be dependent on AI totally, or we opt to assist us in honing our own skills.
I am definitely looking forward how things play out. Since now, everything is almost automated except a few jobs like manual labors. Maybe trade skills would be a valuable skill in the future.
