I think lumping in LSPs to Copilot is wrong.
The LSP is a (mostly) deterministic system that surfaces information provided by the language or by other programmers (types, comments, etc) which are meant to save you time and reduce the cost of context switching.
The other is a completely non deterministic system which generates code from thin air.
That would be like comparing GPS to a self driving car. Both are certainly helpful aids but using one is not like using the other.
