Late reply but in the same boat with VSCode. God help anyone not using a typed language to help more easily catch copilot's BS; it regularly just makes up method and interfaces that don't exist.

It interferes too much with the standard autocomplete/intellisense. I want to use copilot in an on-demand fashion for help with libs I'm not familiar with and scaffolding, but the team seems dead-set on having it always on and in your face; no settings to swap around the default for normal autocomplete.

Maybe I can try toggling it on and off more aggressively. Perhaps Copilot-X's prompt will be more useful for me. IDK but the experience is disappointing especially compared to the potential.

Edit: Also I alluded to this but it's just plane wrong a lot. So the inline suggestions are like 75% wrong and I'm fighting to get my autocomplete to show up instead.
