I make it write entire functions for me, one prompt = one small feature or sometimes one or two functions which are part of a feature, or one refactoring. I make manual edits fast and prompt the next step. It easily does things for me like parsing obscure binary formats or threading new piece of state through the whole application to the levels it's needed, or doing massive refactorings. Idk why it works so good for me and so bad for other people, maybe it loves me. I only ever used 4.1 and possibly 4o in free mode in Copilot.
Are you using Copilot in agent mode? That's where it breaks shit. If you're using it in ask mode with the file you want to edit added to the chat context, then you're probably going to be fine.
I'm only using it in edits mode, it's the second of the three modes available.
It's an issue of scope. People often give the AI too much to handle at once, myself (admittedly) included.
