For a bit more nuance, I think I would my overall net is about break even. But I don't take that as "it's not worth it at all, abandon ship" but rather that I need to hone my instinct of what is and is not a good task for AI involvement, and what that involvement should look like.

Throwing together a GHA workflow? Sure, make a ticket, assign it to copilot, check in later to give a little feedback and we're golden. Half a day of labour turned into fifteen minutes.

But there are a lot of tasks that are far too nuanced where trying to take that approach just results in frustration and wasted time. There it's better to rely on editor completion or maybe the chat interface, like "hey I want to do X and Y, what approach makes sense for this?" and treat it like a rubber duck session with a junior colleague.
