GitHub investigated the impact of Copilot on code quality, but... did they do it fairly?

The article discusses the impact of GitHub Copilot on code quality, presenting various perspectives on the issue. The author highlights that using AI tools in programming can introduce certain statistical distortions that affect the perceived quality of code. It largely relies on studies that, on one hand, showcase the positive aspects of using Copilot, but on the other hand, reveal the risks of drawing faulty conclusions from the results. A significant point made in the article is that the technology itself does not improve code quality; rather, the way it is used by developers is crucial. Therefore, caution is advised when making conclusions about the benefits of GitHub Copilot, as context should be considered and limitations not overlooked in the data analysis.
