posible but unsure. Most auto complete "AI" don't full project . The much better code carefully and renaming your variable for ease long term maintenance.
This response definitely came from Copilot.

I’ve had a few months of experience with those autopilots, and all I can say is that I got tired of pressing the escape key to cancel predictions, so I ended up disabling them altogether. I really wish they were better, though and surely I will test it again and again from time to time.

Huh?
What does this help?
I've been using Copilot with CLion and VSCode for quite a while now. It really excels at autogenerating boilerplate code and doc comments, which saves a huge amount of time. Some of its predictions are so good, they're almost magical. It's also great when learning new programming languages and can help to get you up to speed really quickly. Sometimes it will generate code that doesn't work at all but, overall, it's a really great tool. It almost always beats Google / Stackexchange for answers to tricky programming problems.

I've been using Copilot for ages now - it's not perfect but it saves me so much time - and has taught me a heap of new ways to do things. I use it heavily in my dev tools - C#/SQL for my API, Swift for my iOS app and Kotlin for the Android version. Have been learning Flutter recently, has made that way more simple. Gets things wrong as you'd expect but as a general I think it's worth it.

Have been using a third party plugin with XCode, will be interesting to see how the proper Github one goes in terms of performance and not randomly stopping working.
