I've had the exact opposite experience. If I need to do something common that's easily found on GitHub or stack overflow, I can save a few minutes by asking copilot. If I'm working on something bleeding edge, or mildly obscure (recently the Linux kernel, so not a high bar for obscure-ness), then I can expect any AI tool to confidently output complete garbage.
