In fact, many have pointed out that Copilot’s process of looking up code based on its expected constraints is similar to one that a developer might experience by searching StackOverflow for code snippets. Funnily, some thought the idea so similar they decided to build an alternative VSCode plugin to Copilot that simply looks up StackOverflow answers as suggestions.

But with GitHub Copilot, the propensity for cheating on an algorithm question rises significantly. As we’ve demonstrated previously in the article, it’s capable of generating significant portions of code at a time. In fact, Copilot is so proficient at algorithm questions that a non-trivial number of algorithm questions we asked it to solve were done before we could even finish the function signature. All it takes is a candidate to give Copilot the name of the function and paste the results into their assessment editor.
