Explanation
GitHub Copilot Chat is designed as an AI-powered productivity assistant, not a replacement for developers. It augments the developer's workflow by offering code suggestions, answering questions, and helping with tasks - but it requires human review and judgment to validate, accept, or modify its output. Option A is incorrect because Copilot does not replace developers. Option C is incorrect because it still requires developer oversight. Option D is incorrect because Copilot handles much more than just debugging - it assists with code generation, explanation, documentation, and more.
