For me, not a senior dev, Copilot is useful for: discovering API, generating parts of docstrings, and generating bits of code that don't require too much thinking but go beyond simple copy and paste. It is really quite useful and helps to keep my RSI in check.
My primary UX issue with copilot is that it is trying too hard to be helpful, often suggesting code that I don't need. You also can't trust it with more complex cases but that's actually pretty reassuring : - )
