I would argue that it provides lots of value precisely because a programmer's job is to think. Less time spent on brain-dead stuff means more time available to think.
I use copilot at work (not by choice) and I find it's useful as a somewhat smarter autocompletion, plus I can offload some menial tasks to it, like turning an if else into a switch statement.
