Right from https://github.com/features/preview/copilot-x:

“Context aware conversations with your copilot. If you're stuck solving a problem, ask GitHub Copilot to explain a piece of code. Bump into an error? Have GitHub Copilot fix it. It’ll even generate unit tests so you can get back to building what’s next.”

This is almost a Homer Simpson running for garbage commissioner level of over-promising. I think Copilot is an incredible tool, what’s possible right now is amazing and it can save time and offer value. But the degree to which it doesn’t just fail but completely misdirects is at serious odds with the breathless marketing.
