GitHub CoPilot Is Ruining Code Quality | Prime Reacts

GitHub CoPilot's growth and increased usage raise concerns about code quality. Developers are divided on whether CoPilot accelerates their coding ability or hinders code maintainability. Code generated by CoPilot is compared to code written by humans, highlighting potential issues with copy-pasting, lack of code reuse, and increased code churn. The paper suggests the need for incentives to encourage better code suggestions, the impact of time pressure on code quality, and the implications of code reuse and copy-pasting on long-term code maintainability.
