This is my main concern with Copilot tbh, I've seen enough code on Github with obscure security flaws to be wary of any code it generates. Not sure how it would determine code quality, as popularity is not a great indication of good code. As the model doesn't have any comprehension of the code itself, it's likely to suggest code because it's common rather than good.
